Okay, friends, let’s talk turmeric. Seriously, this golden spice is everywhere right now, and for good reason! I’ve been experimenting with it for ages, ever since a trip to India a few years back. I was completely blown away by the vibrant flavors and the way turmeric was incorporated into everything. It wasn’t just about taste, though; everyone I met seemed to swear by its health benefits. I came back determined to figure out how to make it a regular part of my routine, and honestly? It took a little while. I tried lattes, teas, even sneaking it into smoothies… but nothing really clicked.
And you know me, I’m always on the hunt for ways to optimize health and wellness. Lately, I’ve been diving deep into things like supporting metabolic health – have you seen my post on a potential natural Zepbound recipe? It’s all about finding natural ways to feel your best. And speaking of feeling your best, I’ve also been obsessed with fresh juices! I recently shared a fantastic Chukandar Juice recipe that’s packed with nutrients. But sometimes, you need a quick boost, something concentrated. That’s where this turmeric shot comes in. It’s a little different than my usual morning coffee routine (though I did recently uncover a 7 second coffee loophole that’s been a game changer!), but it delivers a powerful punch of goodness.
Then I stumbled upon the idea of turmeric shots. Small, potent, and packed with goodness. And let me tell you, once I perfected my version, it was a game-changer. That’s where this [turmeric trick recipe] comes in. It’s not fancy, it’s not complicated, but it’s incredibly effective. I’ve been making these almost daily for the past six months, and I genuinely feel a difference in my energy levels and overall well-being. It’s one of those things that just makes you feel… good. ✨

Now, I know some people are intimidated by turmeric. They think it’s going to be bitter or weird. But trust me, the key is balance. That’s where the black pepper comes in. You see, turmeric contains this amazing compound called curcumin, which is responsible for all those health benefits we hear about. But curcumin isn’t easily absorbed by the body on its own. That’s where piperine, found in black pepper, steps in. It acts like a little helper, boosting curcumin’s bioavailability. It’s a total [turmeric trick recipe] power move!
And then there’s the honey. I’m a big believer in using natural sweeteners whenever possible, and honey not only adds a lovely sweetness but also has its own set of health benefits. Plus, it just tastes good, right? I’ve been playing around with different types of honey – wildflower, manuka, even orange blossom – and they all add a slightly different nuance to the shot. It’s fun to experiment!

I’ve seen a lot of recipes that call for fancy oils or complicated techniques, but honestly, this [turmeric trick recipe] is all about simplicity. You can use fresh turmeric root if you can find it – I love the vibrant color and flavor – or you can use ground turmeric. Both work great! I’ve included instructions for both methods below. I’ve also been experimenting with adding a little ginger for an extra kick, and a squeeze of lemon or orange juice to brighten things up. It’s all about finding what you like.

I think one of the biggest reasons people shy away from healthy cooking is that they think it has to be time-consuming and difficult. But that’s just not true! This [turmeric trick recipe] takes literally five minutes to make. Five minutes! That’s less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee. And the benefits? Well, they’re pretty incredible. From boosting your immune system to reducing inflammation, turmeric is a true superfood. It’s a small change that can make a big difference. And that’s what “Fun Cooking, Easier Life!” is all about, right? ❤️

Turmeric Trick Recipe
The Turmeric Trick Recipe That Changed My Mornings (And Might Change Yours Too!). A simple and effective turmeric shot recipe for boosting energy and well-being.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 0 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Category: Drink
- Cuisine: Healthy
Ingredients
15 to 20 grams (0.7 ounces) Organic Fresh turmeric root (or 2 teaspoon organic ground turmeric)
¼ cup water
6 tablespoons hot water (1½ tablespoons per shot)
½ teaspoon black pepper corn
4 teaspoons honey (skip if you are diabetic)
¼ cup lemon juice (or 4 tsps lime juice or orange juice, refer notes)
½ to 1 teaspoon cold pressed avocado oil (or melted coconut oil or ghee)
Instructions
- Rinse fresh turmeric root under running water. Scrub it well with a brush to get rid of any mud deposits. Rinse well and peel it with a spoon or a butter knife. Slice the root.
- Optional – heating turmeric enhances the bioavailability. So if you want add the turmeric slices to a pot along with ½ cup water. Boil until the water reduces to half, for about 5 to 7 mins and cool completely.
- Add to a blender jar with ¼ cup water and black pepper corn. Blend until smooth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and strain the turmeric puree. OR You can also use a cheese cloth. Using a wooden spoon, extract the liquid to the bowl. You will see a lot of smooth turmeric makes through the strainer. Use the leftovers in the strainer in your curry, soups, smoothies etc.
- To make the turmeric shots, pour 1½ tablespoons slightly hot water to each shot glass and stir in 2 tablespoons of the liquid turmeric.
- Mix well and make sure it is luke warm. If it is cold, you may add little more hot water. Stir in honey until well combined. Consume turmeric shot immediately.
- Optionally you may add ⅛ teaspoon avocado oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice to each serving. If you prefer orange juice you may add as much as you want.
Notes
- I have been using 2 to 3 grams of fresh turmeric root per shot serving.This is the quantity experts suggest.
- Raw and boiled turmeric each have their own benefits. If you do not prefer raw turmeric shots, you may boil the sliced turmeric root first.Experts suggest boiling for a short duration for better absorption.
- Too much turmeric can cause side effects like nose bleeds, stomach cramps, constipation etc. So be cautious if you consume it regularly, for over 5 days.
- Note that turmeric can interfere with your medications. If you are on any medications, please check with your doctor before you consume these shots.
- We do not consume turmeric shots on empty stomach. My experience is they work better when your stomach is neither empty nor too full.
- Please do not use regular turmeric roots or regular ground turmeric for making these shots as they are mostly treated chemically or even contain additives. Use organic products only.
- Avoid using cold shots. Shots that are warm or at room temperature are best for digestion and absorption.
