Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 knobs ginger (about 45g) chopped *see note
  • 2 lemon peeled and chopped, plus more sliced pieces for garnish
  • 2 oranges peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • Dash cinnamon
  • Generous pinch sea salt
  • 1-2 stem fresh mint leaves (optional) for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In the high-speed blender, combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth.
  • Place a cheese cloth and a nut bag over a measuring cup and strain the mixture through. Tightly squeeze the cheesecloth until the dry pulp is left.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze.
  • (Optional) To make these even more flavorful and pretty, cut a few thin lemon slices into small pieces and place one into each ice cube tray cavity. Then add the fresh mint for a refreshing flavor and pop of color. Once frozen, these look so beautiful!
  • Defrost and enjoy as a shot. Or pour hot water over ice cubes, mix, and enjoy as soothing tea.

Notes

* Note: The spicy level of this recipe is on the mild side. If you wish, you can double the amount of ginger to double the heat! 
This recipe makes about 2 cups of ginger shots. One serving is about 2 oz.
Tip: If you're planning to use this as a smoothie ingredient or love extra fiber, you can skip the straining process. Personally, I prefer a smooth texture for making tea and sipping it when I'm not feeling well to help ward off a cold.
Please note that the nutritional information provided is just an estimate, and accuracy is not guaranteed.
If you like classic ginger shots, I recommend Ginger and Citrus Immunity Shots made without a juicer. If you want to bump up the antioxidant, Purple Ginger Immunity Shot is also a fun way to use purple cabbage.
