Immunity Ginger Shot

Having ginger shot a day seems to be a hot habit now. And when I say hot I mean it in both ways.
More and more celebrities swear by the miracles ginger shots are doing for their bodies. The good news is that you can also have ginger shots and you don’t even have to buy them – you can make them in the comfort of your kitchen.

What’s the Deal with Ginger?

Ginger is a root plant, mostly known and used in Asian cuisine. It’s used as both a spice but also as a natural remedy. It gained its popularity due to the bold, spicy flavor, but also because of its health benefits.

Ginger is a miracle plant that has lots of health benefits:

• it’s anti-inflammatory
• it boosts your immune system, which means that is a natural weapon against cold and flu
• it improves digestion, cardiovascular health and inflammation

It sounds really promising, but all these come at a cost: the taste. Ginger is super spicy. You either love it or hate it. I personally recommend it if you don’t like ginger tea, you can have it as a shot.

Also ginger is in a serious relationship with lemon juice. You will always see these two together. And the reason is simple: together they’re stronger. Meaning in boosts your IMMUNE SYSTEM BETTER.

Since I live in an area with quite cold winters, catching a cold or flu is quite common. So I decided to try to make my own ginger shot for cold and test its benefits on myself.

Immunity Ginger Shot

Recipe by Glennys MarquezCourse: Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 big, juicy lemons;

• 2-3 tablespoons of honey;

• 25 grams of ginger – I like my shot to be quite concentrated and I will admit that it is spicy (burning spicy). So you can lower the quantity;

Directions

• First, squeeze the juice from the lemon (or lemons) and strain it. You can leave the pulp in, but there will also be tiny bits of ginger in it so it might be too thick to drink.
• Add the lemon juice and honey into your blender.
• Chop ginger roughly and add it to the blender as well.
• Mix everything for 30 seconds to one minute. Honey is quite thick and you want it to be well incorporated (trust me). Also, ginger has quite a hard texture and it won’t be turned into a paste or something close to that consistency. You will still be able to feel some really small ginger bits in the shot. I like to strain it because I don’t like the ginger bits.

Notes

• In case you haven’t tasted ginger by now, let me warn you. It is spicy! If you have the need to dilute, feel free to add water.
