Notes
Want to make Ginger Tumeric Shots? Swap half of the fresh ginger with 1 ounce of turmeric root, then make the recipe as instructed.
This recipe is most potent when made fresh daily. However, you can make several batches ahead of time and serve them throughout the week. The ginger juice will last up to 1 week kept in the fridge.
