Healthy drinks that are served as a shot normally don’t taste very well …. A lot of people don’t like the taste of a wheatgrass shot for example. Well in that case, you will most likely not appreciate the taste of a Ginger Shot, but it’s certainly effective. Move over coffee, because this is how you wake up your body!
When you start to feel a bit under the weather a ginger shot may be a good natural remedy to help your immune system a bit. So if you are starting to feel sick (or right before) with a runny nose, sneezing, fever and cold chills … try a ginger shot.
Usually, a ginger shot is made with three ingredients:
- Ginger
- Lemon
- Cayenne pepper
How To Make A Ginger Shot?
