Probiotic Ginger and Turmeric Shots Fermented with Kombucha

Give your wellness routine a boost with these probiotic-rich ginger and turmeric shots! Made with kombucha for gut health, they’re refreshing, anti-inflammatory, and easy to make.

  • Prep: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup organic orange juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 2 small lemons, peeled
  • 1/2 cup organic kombucha (any citrus flavor or plain)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh turmeric root (peeling optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh ginger root (peeling optional)
  • 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to your blender.
  2. Blend on high until evenly combined (about 2 minutes).
  3. Strain the blended ingredients through cheesecloth, butter muslin, or a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher. This separates the pulp from the juice.
  4. Pour the juice into small jars and cap them with lids. This recipe yields about 9 ounces, so it will give you 9 1-ounce shots.
  5. Let the shots ferment at room temperature for 24 hours, then refrigerate.
  6. You can freeze the pulp in ice cube trays to use in baked goods, smoothies, ramen, soups, or curry. Basically any recipe that calls for ginger or turmeric. You can even use it to make your next batch of fire cider.
  7. Take one ounce as a wellness shot, or add one ounce to tea, juice or carbonated water.

Notes

  • if you’re not peeling the ginger and turmeric root, be sure to wash it well before blending.
  • see blog post above recipe card for advice on using dried ginger or turmeric instead
  • the shots should last in the fridge for about 2 weeks. They may change color slightly from fermentation.
  • this recipe works great with a juicer, juice the turmeric, ginger, lemon and one orange. Then combine with the kombucha and black pepper.
