  • 4 medium oranges about 2 cups fresh juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh ginger root peeled and grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric root peeled and grated (or 1 teaspoon dried turmeric powder)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey optional, per shot
  • Pinch of sea salt

  • Glass jar with a lid (16 ounces or larger)

Method
 

  1. Wash the oranges under cool running water, pat dry, cut in half, and juice them to yield about 2 cups of fresh juice.
  2. Peel a 3-inch piece of ginger root, grate it finely to measure 3 tablespoons of fresh ginger.
  3. Peel and grate fresh turmeric root to measure 1 tablespoon, or measure 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder if using dried.
  4. Pour the orange juice into a clean glass jar, then add the grated ginger, grated turmeric, black pepper, and sea salt.
  5. Close the jar, shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to infuse.
  7. Before serving, optionally strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids for a smoother shot.
  8. Pour 2 ounces of the infused shot into a glass or shot glass and stir in raw honey if desired.
  9. Shake the jar before each use and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
