Flu Fighter – Golden Immunity Shots
Like drinking liquid sunshine with a nice fiery after hit! These fresh turmeric and ginger golden shots are a great immune boost, often they are strained but we left all the fibre goodness in which will help with the absorption of nutrients as well as filling you up! The ground black pepper and coconut oil is to help with the absorption of the curcumin in the turmeric.
Takes 10 minutes
Serves 20
Ingredients
- 2 oranges
- 2 lemons
- 100 g fresh ginger approx 1/2 cup, chopped
- 35 g fresh turmeric approx. 3 tbsp, chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 400 ml of water approx 1.7 cups
- ½ tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Cut the turmeric and ginger into small pieces
- Peel your oranges and lemons.
- Add all of the ingredients into your blender. Pop the lid on and blend on high until super smooth.
- Typically this is sieved to give a super silky texture but in doing so you lose some of the goodness from the fibre so we have left ours as is.
- We stored ours in a 1L Jar in the fridge for 5 days and had a good shot of it each day. Great way to give you a boost to help keep colds and flu at bay!
This looks great. I’m wondering how long you can store this. I was thinking of making this for Christmas stocking stuffers for my extended family. How soon ahead could I make it? And how long can the recipients store it?
Also….how do you take a shot? A teaspoon, a tablespoon…?
This sounds delicious can’t wait to try it !!!!
Sounds good, think I will leave the skins on though? I need all the fibre I can get and the taste wont bother me. I am taking a mixture similar but with garlic and lemon only and not strained. Easy to drink a shot glass each day.
Wondered if you could replace orange with an other fruit….maybe kiwi if it’s for the vit. C ? I can’t eat any oranges or grapefruit. Or could it just be avoided?
