Immune boosting frozen shots
Stock your freezer with immune-boosting shots – an easy make-ahead recipe to help support immunity all winter long.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 orange peel & pith cut off, deseeded, chopped
- 1 lemon peel & pith cut off, deseeded, chopped
- 1 carrot peeled & diced
- 50 g organic honey use local honey if possible
- 2 tsp organic turmeric powder or 20g fresh turmeric
- 25 g fresh ginger chopped
- 200-300 ml water
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients above, I find the best way to remove the orange and lemon skin is with a sharp knife.
- Put all the ingredients into a powerful blender (I use my Nutri Ninja blender) blend until really smooth. Pour through a sieve to remove the pulp, use the back of a spoon to push the liquid through. Discard the pulp or add to muffin batter like my abc muffins to save the waste.
- Add more water if needed. Pour the orange liquid into silicone moulds.
- Freeze for at least 3 hours. Pop out and freeze in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months.
- Serve cold: Defrost 1-2 shots, drink as they are or with a dash of water.
- Serve hot: Add 1 or 2 frozen shots to a mug, top with boiling water, add more honey and lemon if you wish. I add cracked black pepper to mine too, it helps to absorb the nutrients, making it more beneficial. Note adding boiling water may decrease the amount of vitamin C.
- Serve as a smoothie: Add 1 or 2 shots to a blender with banana, pineapple or mango and water blend, pour and serve. My kids love it.
