🥣 Ingredients Honey Ginger Shots

To learn how to make these immune boosting ginger shots, you will simply need to gather a few key ingredients that help support your gut health and immune function.

1. Ginger Root -  The key here is to use fresh ginger for the tastiest punch of flavor.
2. Honey - This is a delicious sweetener of choice with many antioxidants to support healthy immune function. You can also swap it for your favorite sweetener, like maple syrup.
3. Lemon Juice -  A key ingredient for immune health and to add tang to balance out the sweet flavors.
4. Turmeric - I love the brand by Further Food, because it contains turmeric, but also adaptogenic herbs and additional super foods. Turmeric is one of the best supplements to help fight inflammation.
5. Cayenne Pepper - Optional but great for a metabolism boost.
6. Filtered Water - Fresh, filtered water is best for making these wellness shots.
