The bottles have black screw caps, and the rich yellow juice looks smooth and slightly frothy on top. In the background, a white bowl with sliced white ginger pieces is blurred, and a piece of fresh ginger root is placed near the board.

Ingredients

2 oranges, juiced (about 6 fluid ounces)
2 lemons, juiced (about 3 fluid ounces)
1 cup water
24 grams fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

Step 1: Peel the ginger root, removing just the thin outer skin. Slice it thinly to make blending easier.
Step 2: Juice the oranges and lemons to extract fresh citrus juice.
Step 3: In a blender, combine the citrus juices, ginger slices, water, and honey.
Step 4: Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Step 5: Pour the mixture into small bottles or jars and refrigerate. Use within 7 days for best freshness.

Tips & Variations

Use raw honey to add natural sweetness and preserve the nutrients.
If you prefer a stronger ginger flavor, add a bit more fresh ginger root.
For an extra vitamin boost, add a pinch of turmeric or a dash of cayenne pepper before blending.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste.

Storage

Store the orange ginger shots in airtight bottles or jars in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Shake well before drinking, as the ingredients may settle. These shots are best consumed cold; you can drink them straight or dilute with a little water if the flavor is too strong.

FAQs

Can I use ginger powder instead of fresh ginger?

Fresh ginger provides the best flavor and health benefits, but in a pinch, you can use about 1 teaspoon of ginger powder. Keep in mind the flavor will be less vibrant and the texture might be slightly different.

Are these shots suitable for kids?

Yes, but adjust the amount of ginger and honey to suit their taste and dietary needs. Always check for allergies and introduce new ingredients gradually.
