Looking for a natural way to fight off colds without breaking the bank? Forget those pricey store-bought health shots! Baker Mackenzie ‘Mack’ Lee has shared a fantastic recipe for homemade wellness shots, using simple ingredients you probably already have at home.
Mack is here to save not just your health, but your wallet too. No fancy juicer needed—just a trusty blender! Start by chopping up three cups of fresh ginger and half a cup of fresh turmeric (or substitute with 3 tsp of powder), a lemon, and add a couple of cloves of garlic. Don’t bother peeling—just rinse and toss them into the blender with 4-4.5 cups of water. Spice it up with some black pepper, necessary if you’re using turmeric, a tablespoon of cayenne pepper, and an apple for a bit of sweetness.
Blend everything until smooth, then strain it using a nut milk bag or regular strainer. Mack stresses keeping things simple and hassle-free, so no need for any complicated gadgets. Store the finished product in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze it for longevity.
The benefits? These potent shots can help reduce inflammation, boost gut and immune health, and even give your skin a glow. And if you’re wondering about the leftover pulp, freeze it for your smoothies or steep it in hot water as a cosy tea base.
Ginger is renowned for its health benefits, thanks to being packed with antioxidants and having potential antimicrobial properties. While it’s super healthy, remember to enjoy it in moderation, as its concentrated nature might not suit everyone.
Cheers to good health! 🥃🍋🫚
