These fiery ginger shots made in a slow juicer are highly concentrated and have a nice burn. The orange and lemon give them a nice zesty flavor.

Ingredients
 

  • 10.5 ounces (300 g) organic ginger
  • 2 organic lemons
  • 1 large organic orange

Instructions
 

  • Large glass mixing bowl with ginger soaking in water.
    Wash the ginger in a bowl with water, baking soda, and a splash of vinegar. Let it soak for 15 minutes. Give it a good scrub with a vegetable brush and rinse it under cold water.
  • Cut ginger root, lemons, and orange in a beige ceramic bowl.
    Prep the ingredients. Slice the ginger. You don't need it peel it if it has been properly washed. Peel the lemons and orange. Cut them into quarters and remove the seeds.
  • Ginger shot juice in a glass jug under a slow juicer.
    Feed the ingredients into the juicer. Alternate between ginger and citrus fruits to promote juicing. Optionally place a fine-mesh strainer over the juice recipient to obtain a really smooth juice.
  • Hand filling the ginger shot juice into small shot bottles.
    Transfer the ginger juice to shot bottles using a small funnel and refrigerate straight away. Drink within 5-7 days.

Notes

Check out my juicing eBook for more juice and juice pulp recipes.
  1. If you want to peel the ginger, try doing so with a spoon instead of a knife–it works so much better.
  2. Use a slow juicer if you can! Overall slow juicers are better at extracting juice from fruits and vegetables compared to centrifugal juicers. I found that to be particularly true for roots such s ginger and turmeric.
  3. Use code COOKINGWITHELO10 for 10% off Hurom juicers on the Hurom Europe website.
  4. Save the ginger pulp! You can use it to make ginger-infused maple syrup or ground ginger powder from my juicing eBook.
  5. A white sediment may appear at the bottom of your ginger shot bottles after a few hours but there's nothing to worry about. It's due to natural starches from the ginger settling at the bottom of the bottles. Sometimes you can incorporate it back into the ginger juice by strongly shaking the bottles. If not, you can wash it out after drinking your ginger shot.
