SARA’S NOTES

These little shots of magic are one of my favourite things to make as the seasons change

and I can feel my body asking for extra support. Ten minutes, a blender, and a handful of ingredients you probably already have. The ginger gives them a beautiful kick, the lemon and clementine brighten everything up, and the turmeric does its quiet anti-inflammatory work in the background. Don’t skip the black pepper, it activates the turmeric and makes the whole shot more powerful. Make a batch on Sunday and you’re set for the week. 🌿

METHOD

1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high for 30–60 seconds until smooth and well combined.

2. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a mason jar or jug, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible.

3. Pour into a 1oz shot glass and shoot it back! Enjoy the warmth and tingle.

4. Store the remaining shots in an airtight mason jar in the fridge for up to 7 days. Shake or stir before each serving.

🌿 WHY THIS NOURISHES YOU

Turmeric is one of the most studied anti-inflammatory ingredients in the world, and its active compound curcumin is especially powerful when paired with black pepper, which increases its absorption by up to 2000%. Ginger supports digestion, reduces nausea, and has natural antimicrobial properties that support your immune system from the inside out. Lemon and clementine deliver a hit of vitamin C and antioxidants that support immune defence, skin health, and liver function. Raw honey brings natural antimicrobial compounds and soothes the throat and digestive lining. Together, these ingredients are a genuinely powerful, food-first approach to seasonal wellness.
