Scale

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric, grated or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender.

- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or directly into shot glasses to remove pulp and ginger/turmeric fibers.
- Discard the pulp.
- Pour the wellness shots into small glasses or a bottle.

Notes
- For a smoother consistency, you can add a small piece of peeled orange to the blender.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference with honey or maple syrup.
- If you don’t have fresh turmeric and ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, but fresh will provide the best flavor and potency.
- Black pepper helps increase the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
