Start by peeling the fresh ginger using a spoon or knife to remove the thin outer skin. Once peeled, cut the ginger into small chunks—this helps it blend more easily and ensures you get a smooth, well-extracted shot without large fibrous pieces.
Add the chopped ginger into a blender, then pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, a small pinch of black pepper, and add the measured water. Make sure everything is evenly placed in the blender so it processes smoothly.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30–60 seconds, or until everything is fully broken down and combined. You’re looking for a bright, smooth liquid with no large chunks remaining. If it seems too thick, you can add a small splash of water to help it blend.
Place a fine strainer over a small glass and slowly pour the blended mixture through it. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the pulp, extracting as much liquid as possible. This step gives you a cleaner, smoother shot that’s easier to drink.
Serve immediately while fresh for the best flavor and potency. Give it a quick stir if needed, then drink it in one or two sips for a quick, refreshing boost.
