Ingredients

4 inches Turmeric Root (about 1/4 cup fresh or 2 tbsp powder)

4 inches Ginger Root (about 1/4 cup)

2 Lemons, peeled

2 Oranges, peeled

3/4 cup Water

1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Directions

Wash and dry fresh produce. Peel the lemons and oranges.

Bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil in a small pan. Once boiling, add turmeric root, reduce heat to medium high and simmer for 7-8 minutes. After simmering, remove turmeric root while reserving the liquid in the pan. Put liquid in fridge to cool.

Pour into shot glasses and enjoy! Store the leftover ginger turmeric shots in an air tight container in the fridge. They will last about 2-3 days.
