These 6-ingredient ginger shots (with pineapple, orange, and cayenne), are potent with immune-boosting, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits. They can be made in a blender or juicer!

- ¼ cup (60 g) lime juice or lemon juice
- ½ cup (120 g) coconut water (see notes)
- 1-2 pinches of cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- You can watch the short video for visual instructions.Wash and scrub the ginger root under running water before you chop it into smaller chunks.
- Squeeze 2 oranges to get ½ cup of orange juice. Also, squeeze about 3 limes (or 2 lemons) for ¼ cup of juice.
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until the mixture is fairly smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve (or nut milk bag) into a bowl or measuring cup.
- Transfer the juice to several smaller (preferably sealable) glasses and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.I consume one shot in the morning and recommend starting slowly.
