Ingredients
- 2 lemons
- 1 oz fresh ginger
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Juice the Lemons: Slice the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl to capture all the fresh lemon flavor.
- Grate the Ginger: Using a fine grater, grate the fresh ginger directly into the lemon juice to release its pungent and spicy notes.
- Add Spices and Water: Add the turmeric powder, black pepper, and water to the lemon and ginger mixture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Whisk the mixture well to combine all the ingredients evenly, ensuring the turmeric powder is fully incorporated.
- Strain the Mixture: Transfer the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a measuring jug or bowl to remove pulp and ginger fibers for a smooth shot.
- Serve or Store: Best enjoyed immediately for maximum freshness and potency, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
