GINGER SHOT RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash and dry the ginger, then coarsely chop.
• Juice the lemons , straining off the seeds, and pulp until you have about 2/3 cup of lemon juice.
• Add the ginger, lemon juice, water, and honey, if using, to a blender .
• Blend on high until a mostly smooth, thick mixture forms, stopping to scrape down the bowl occasionally, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a fine-mesh strainer lined with a doubled sheet of cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel set over a medium bowl. Let drain for several minutes.
• Gather up the edges of the cloth and twist, squeezing the ginger pulp into a ball inside the cloth. Squeeze well and continue to twist, until no more liquid is dripping out of the cloth and the pulp is very dry. Discard the pulp.
• Transfer the liquid into a bottle using a funnel and chill.

LEMON & GINGER TEA

Steps:

• Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half and slice the rest. Divide the lemon juice and slices between 2 mugs, along with the sliced ginger.
• Fill the mugs with boiling water and leave to steep for 3 mins or until cool enough to sip. Sweeten with honey if you like.

• Finely shred ginger into a bowl. Zest lemons and add zest to ginger. Mix sugar and juice from the lemons into ginger-lemon zest mixture.
