• 1 inch piece of fresh ginger root
• 1 inch piece of fresh turmeric root (or 1 teaspoon of powdered turmeric)
• 1–2 lemons (for about 2–3 tablespoons or 30–45 ml fresh lemon juice)
• ½ cup water
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Quick Tip: Fresh ginger and turmeric give a bolder flavor and more nutrients, while powdered forms can be easier to use.

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

• Rinse the fresh ginger root and turmeric (skip if using turmeric powder) well, and peel using a vegetable peeler.
• Chop the ginger and turmeric into small pieces for easy blending.
• Squeeze the lemons and set the juice aside.

Step 2: Blend or Juice the Mixture

• If using a blender:
  • Add the chopped ginger, turmeric (or powdered turmeric), lemon juice, water, maple syrup, and black pepper.
  • Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining pulp or foam for a smoother finish.

• If using a juicer:
  • Add the ginger and turmeric pieces to your juicer and collect the juice.
  • For a cleaner finish, strain the juice to catch any remaining pulp your juicer might leave behind.
  • In a container, combine the ginger turmeric juice with water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and black pepper.

Quick Tips:

• You can juice everything together if you prefer — just add the maple syrup and black pepper after juicing.
• Blended versions tend to be pulpier and may foam, while juiced versions come out smoother and more concentrated.
• Using ground turmeric? No need to juice! Just whisk everything together until well combined.

Step 3: Serve Fresh

• Give the final mixture a good stir to bring all the flavors together.
• Pour it into a shot glass to enjoy immediately.

Storing Homemade Turmeric Ginger Shots

• Store your shots in airtight bottles or jars in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
• Flavor and nutrients fade quickly, and separation is normal — just shake before drinking.
• For longer storage (1-2 months), pour the turmeric ginger shot into an ice cube tray or a freezer-safe container and freeze. Thaw before consuming.

If you’d rather skip the hassle of homemade turmeric ginger shots, Sol-ti SUPERBOOST_™ SuperShot_® is a ready-to-drink alternative with a better shelf life — about 1-2 months in the fridge. Once opened, enjoy within 48 hours for peak flavor and nutrients.

• Use agave nectar, coconut sugar, or date syrup instead of maple syrup.
• Add cayenne pepper for a spicier kick.
• Use coconut water instead of plain water for electrolytes and a subtle sweetness.
• Try orange juice instead of lemon for a less tangy flavor.
• Stir in 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil to help your body absorb curcumin (turmeric’s key compound).
• Add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar for extra digestive support and to give your wellness shots a tangier taste.
• Add 2 to 3 tablespoons (30–45 ml) of pineapple juice instead of lemon for a fruity sweetness and an additional source of vitamin C..

A homemade ginger turmeric shot can be great when you have fresh ingredients and a lot of time. But it’s not always the most practical for daily routines:

• Shots can lose nutrients and flavor quickly.
• It can foam, separate, or turn bitter as it sits.
• Each batch can vary in flavor and strength.
• Prep and cleanup — and turmeric stains — aren’t exactly fun.

That’s where Sol-ti SUPERBOOST_™ SuperShot_® shines.

Each 2-oz bottle combines USDA-certified organic turmeric and fresh ginger for heat and depth, along with lemon, pineapple, green apple, and black pepper for better absorption and a smooth, bright finish.

You get a bright, balanced turmeric ginger shot with consistent strength and flavor in each sip.
