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.

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add to a blender jar with ¼ cup water and black pepper corn. Blend until smooth.
  4. 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.
  5. To make the turmeric shots, pour 1½ tablespoons slightly hot water to each shot glass and stir in 2 tablespoons of the liquid turmeric.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
