4-Ingredient Ginger Shots

Because Winter is virtually here and its the season for flu
and all that morbid stuff, I thought (on a happier note) it
apt to introduce the juice that will save your soul and
sanity from the viral as well as bacterial lurkers of June,
July and August. Those party poopers always arrive uninvited
so the best antidote, I find, is an onslaught of Ginger and
other wonderful flu-fighters. Enter Homemade Ginger
Shots (with only 4 ingredients, and an option to
supersize them with other ingredients too!)

Whilst my son and husband and babysitter and mom and all my
colleagues have been sick this week, I have been frantically
making ginger-infused everything, from soup
to smoothies and of course, many, many Ginger-shots in an
attempt to wield off what feels like an impending doom of
flu. However, with much gratitude and surprise, I am still
unaffected. The ginger must be maintaining a mini perimeter
wall around me or something.

Ginger has incredible anti-inflammatory properties and is
also a powerful antioxidant which can help to boost your
immune system!! It is also know to help settle upset stomachs
and alleviate nausea and other stomach and digestive pain.
Hail GINGER!! And let’s admit, that fiery part of Ginger that
catches your throat must make them germs
squirm?

The recipe below is enough for a weeks worth
– the portion size is 150ml and I recommend dividing them up
and freezing them individually if you want one each day of
the week. Alternately, you can halve the batch or even make
the full batch and get your entire family sipping on
Ginger superjuice!

Supersize the Shot

To add more superpower to your Ginger shot, you can add any of
the following:

1. Add another 6cm (2 TBS of grated ginger to the recipe)
   


2. Add 1 teaspoon of Turmeric to the recipe – whoa!!! (also a
   POWERFUL antioxidant and anti-inflammatory)
   


3. Add 210ml of 100% Orange Juice (this will take your daily
   Ginger shot to 180ml or so) (Vitamin C)
