Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Fresh Ginger

Ginger contains naturally occurring bioactive compounds called gingerols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ginger has also been extensively studied for its effects on digestion and nausea. Its intense flavour means a relatively small serving provides plenty of warming, spicy flavour without needing added sugar.

Fresh Turmeric

Turmeric contains a group of naturally occurring compounds called curcuminoids, the best known of which is curcumin.

Curcumin has been extensively researched for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Using fresh turmeric root also provides its distinctive earthy flavour and vibrant golden-orange colour.

Fresh Lime

Limes provide vitamin C, an essential nutrient that contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Fresh lime juice also balances the strong flavours of ginger and turmeric, making these concentrated shots brighter and more refreshing.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Unlike many commercially prepared wellness shots, this homemade version contains no added sugar, fruit juice concentrates, syrups, or honey. It's simply made from fresh ginger, turmeric, lime, and water.

Making your own also allows you to control the strength. Add a little more water for a milder drink or keep it concentrated if you enjoy the intense ginger flavour.

Because the recipe makes several portions at once, it's also convenient for preparing ahead and keeping chilled for quick servings throughout the week.
