Turmeric Ginger Immunity Shots

Trust me, you will want to make these now for when cold/flu season hits your home. Every cold/flu season I make a huge batch of these to support our immune systems! Freeze the leftovers in silicone molds (I use Souper Cubes) so I have them on hand all cold/flu season!

Health Benefits

- Ginger: Contains gingerols, powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that help support immune function and the body's natural defense against inflammation.

- Lemon: Provides vitamin C, an essential nutrient that supports immune cell function and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

- Turmeric: Contains curcumin, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that helps support a healthy inflammatory response.

- Honey: Offers natural antioxidant compounds and soothing properties that can help calm an irritated throat while providing a touch of natural sweetness.

- Hot Honey (optional): Adds a little kick from chili peppers, which contain capsaicin, while still providing the soothing and antioxidant properties of honey.

Ingredients:

• Whole Ginger

• Fresh lemons (about 5-6)

• Filtered water

• Ground turmeric

• Honey (or hot honey)

Tools:

• High speed blender

• Mesh strainer

• Cheese cloth or nut milk bag

• Small juice shot glass with cap

• Silicone freezer trays

• Dissolvable food labels

Instructions:

1. In a high speed blender throw in few large pieces of ginger (as seen in picture), whole lemons (washed) to the top and up with filtered water.

2. Blend on high.

3. Strain. Use mesh strainer lined with cheese cloth. Strain into large bowl or large pyrex glass measuring cup. Squeeze out as mush liquid as possible.

4. Add 1-2 Tbsp of turmeric. Optional: add honey. I like adding hot honey to help get that congestion moving!

5. Pour into glass juice containers and freeze extra in silicone trays to use later. Label with dissolvable food labels so you remember what is in the freezer! The labels wash off easily so you don't end up with sticky stuff on your containers.

This is super strong so you will need to dilute it with water or orange juice before drinking. The frozen tablets are perfect for throwing into hot water for a soothing tea.
