Ingredients
- 100 grams fresh ginger root
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 100 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the ginger root thoroughly under running water. Use a spoon to scrape off the peel if preferred, but you can keep it on if using organic ginger for more nutrients.
Step 2
Slice the ginger into small pieces to make it easier for blending.
Step 3
Juice the lemon using a citrus juicer or by hand, ensuring there are no seeds in the juice.
Step 4
Place the sliced ginger and water into a high-speed blender, blending until the mixture is as smooth as possible. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the ginger mixture into a bowl, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 6
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, and cayenne pepper to the ginger liquid, stirring until well combined.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spiciness if necessary, adding more honey or cayenne pepper as desired.
Step 8
Pour the mixture into shot glasses or small serving glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and potency.
