Immunity Shot Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 ounce fresh peeled ginger root
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup water
- (optional) juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1½ tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including frozen wild blueberries, peeled ginger root, honey, water, and optional lemon juice to ensure everything is ready for blending.
- Blend the Mixture: Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender and blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth. This helps to combine and break down the ingredients effectively.
- Strain the Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar or measuring cup. Use a spoon to press the mixture, extracting as much juice as possible while leaving the pulp behind. Discard the pulp.
- Serve or Store: Pour the juice into shot glasses for immediate consumption or mix it with sparkling water for a refreshing drink. Alternatively, freeze the juice in ice cube trays or store remaining juice in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use wild blueberries for maximum antioxidants, but any blueberries will work.
- Fresh ginger can be adjusted to taste for more or less spiciness.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan alternative.
- Straining helps achieve a smooth texture but can be skipped if you prefer a thicker shot.
- Store leftover juice in the fridge and consume within 5 days to maintain freshness and potency.
