Turmeric Ginger Energy Shots in small bottles

I regularly make these energy shots to stay healthy. Turmeric and ginger both have great health benefits. They are anti-inflammatory and relieve cold and flu symptoms. Ginger supports overall digestion and curcumin, which is the main ingredient of turmeric, supports the immune system. I always feel energized when I drink this in the morning.

Turmeric ginger energy shot ingredients

  • 120 g turmeric
  • 140 g ginger
  • 2 large lemons
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Turmeric and ginger roots with two whole lemons with a leaf and a small bowl with black pepper laying on a flat gray surface

How to make turmeric ginger energy shots

Peel the ginger and turmeric using a spoon. Attention: the turmeric will badly stain your hands and utensils! I recommend using gloves. Once peeled, add them to a bowl.

Squeeze the lemon either by hand or using a citrus press (see more tips on how to juice a lemon). Add the lemon juice to the bowl.

Add to your blender or food processor and blend till smooth. If the paste is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or water.

Carefully pour the blended mixture into a nut milk bag, over a bowl. Attention: your nut milk bag will become yellow. It can just become your dedicated turmeric shorts bag.

Squeeze out all the liquid. I got about 1/2 liter of fresh turmeric-ginger-lemon juice.

Store in a glass container. If you have little glass vials of around 50 ml, one would be your daily dose.

Refrigerate and consume within 7-10 days. To keep them longer, you can add them to ice cube trays and freeze them.

    I just made these. Very messy with turmeric, but we juice a lot so I expected it, and already had a stained cheesecloth. I added an extra lemon and water. Was able to fill 10 2oz shots. I drank one, and wow it’s strong even after diluting. I still like it, and definitely will make again. Thank you!

      Thank you so much for your comment, Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed the shots – indeed, they can be strong when freshly made at home. You can also dilute them with some orange or apple juice to sweeten them a bit.
