Ginger turmeric shots have become a popular trend. These little drinks, made from fresh ginger, turmeric, lemon juice and other ingredients, are known for tasting fruity, hot and especially refreshing.
In this blog post we look at what ginger turmeric shots are and why their ingredients are so popular. We'll also give you tips on when to take them and how much.
Whether you're already a fan of ginger turmeric shots or just curious to find out more about them, this blog post will give you everything you need to know about ginger shots.
Looking for ready-made shots instead of making your own? You'll find all the ginger shots from frank. in our shop.
Ginger turmeric shots: what's inside
Ginger turmeric shots are characterised by a pleasant spiciness and their yellowish-orange colour.
The most important ingredients are of course ginger and turmeric. Besides these, you can also find other functional or flavouring ingredients. In our frank. shot called Wake Up Call you'll find orange juice, lemon juice and pepper.
Ginger
Ginger is a plant from the ginger family and originally comes from Southeast Asia. The root tuber of ginger is often used as a spice and has a sharp, slightly sweetish taste. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. You'll find ginger in numerous foods and drinks, including tea, juice, ginger shots and even in beer and sweets. Ginger can be added in different forms, for example fresh, dried, ground and as an extract or oil.
What is turmeric?
Turmeric, also known as yellow root or Indian saffron, is a plant from the ginger family. The root of the turmeric plant has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and is also a popular spice in kitchens around the world.
The characteristic feature of turmeric is its bright yellow colour, which is caused by the curcumin it contains.
You can buy the yield of the turmeric root in various forms, for example as a spice, or as a dietary supplement in capsule or powder form. The fresh tuber is a popular ingredient in recipes, whether in drinks like turmeric latte or for cooking in curries.
Ingredients to jazz up your shot
We like the two roots best as a ginger turmeric shot served in a glass with a little sweetness from agave syrup and the fresh juice of lemons and oranges.
Lemons
Lemons are in almost every kitchen and add a bit of acidity to balance out the hot shots.
Black pepper
A pinch of black pepper adds spice to your turmeric shot and is seen as a great recipe tip for all lovers of the two roots. Are you a big pepper fan? Then how about a handful of peppercorns in your ginger shot?
Agave syrup
The sweet taste of agave syrup in the drink balances out the heat of the ginger and will definitely make your shot addictive. Blended in the blender, the agave syrup mixes in beautifully with your shots.
How many turmeric shots should you drink a day?
The recommended amount of ginger turmeric shots to take daily varies, depending on your age and individual needs, among other things.
There is no best time of day to drink ginger turmeric shots. Ginger shots can be drunk at any time of day, although many people like to have them in the morning as part of their daily routine.
How do I make ginger shots myself?
Making ginger shots at home is really easy, especially with a blender. Remove the root stock from the ginger and turmeric, wash and peel each root, and throw them in the blender. It's best to add other ingredients, like lemons, afterwards and taste the drink. Your stomach will thank you!
Well packaged, for example in a plastic or glass bottle rinsed out with hot water, it keeps best and it's hard for germs and bacteria to survive.
If buying turmeric root and ginger root and making the drink yourself is too much effort, you can also go to the supermarket of your choice and buy our frank. shots right there. They are also available in our online shop, which you'll find at this link: ginger shots from frank..
