Ginger shots cost a fortune to buy so heres how to make your own recipe to make ginger shots at home for just a couple of pence.
Hey, it's Laura!
You know how I'm all about those small changes that make a big impact, right? Well, today we're talking about one of my go-to wellness hacks: ginger shots. These little bottles of spicy goodness can cost a pretty penny at the supermarket, but guess what? You can make them at home for a fraction of the price. So what are you waiting for? Let's dive in!
Why Ginger Shots? đ€
First off, why even bother with ginger shots? These tiny but mighty drinks are packed with natural anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Perfect for when you're feeling a bit 'off' or just want to give your system a little kickstart. I always make sure I have a batch in my fridge for when I'super busy and don't want to get sick. I used to get tonsillitis alllll the time and now thanks to these bad boys (and a couple of other things) I rarely get it now. If you want my tonsillitis busting tips check out this post.

What you will need for this Ginger Shot Recipe đ
Equipment
Bender
Sive
Something to store them in (could be a mason jar or little bottles but glass is best)
Ingredients
Ginger (duhh) fresh is best for this one
1 lemon
Cloudy apple juice You can use fresh apples but it makes the process longer so I prefer to use fresh. Ideally you want to buy not from concentrate.
Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper for extra heat
Optional: a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness
The Steps đ
Peel and Chop: Start by washing your ginger and chopping it into small pieces.
Blend it: Add all ingredients to the blender.
Strain: Use a fine-mesh strainer/sieve to remove any pulp, leaving you with a smooth liquid.
Bottle Up: Pour your homemade ginger shots into a small bottle or jar. Keep it in the fridge, and it should last for up to a week!
Store: Keep in the fridge and they should be good for about 5 days.
