Ginger Juice Recipe
🍹 Fresh Ginger Juice Recipe (No Juicer Needed)
🧺 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 140 grams fresh ginger root
- 1 liter cold water
- Juice of 1 lemonHome
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
🥣 Equipment
- High-speed blender or food processor
- Fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag
- Large bowl or pitcher
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Ginger
Wash the ginger thoroughly. Peeling is optional; if the skin is clean, you can leave it on. Cut the ginger into small chunks to ease blending. - Blend the Mixture
Place the ginger chunks into the blender. Add cold water and blend until smooth. This should take about 30–60 seconds. - Strain the Juice
Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or nut milk bag into a bowl or pitcher. Squeeze or press to extract as much juice as possible, leaving the pulp behind. - Add Flavorings
Stir in the lemon juice. If desired, add maple syrup or honey for sweetness, black pepper for a slight kick, and chia seeds for added texture and nutrition. - Serve and Store
Serve the ginger juice over ice for a refreshing drink. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before serving, as natural separation may occur.
🧊 Storage Tips
- Keep the ginger juice refrigerated and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
- For longer storage, consider freezing the juice in ice cube trays and thawing as needed.
🍋 Variations
- Ginger-Lemon Shot: Use a higher concentration of ginger and lemon juice for a potent health shot.
- Ginger-Turmeric Juice: Add a small piece of fresh turmeric root during blending for additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Spiced Ginger Juice: Incorporate a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
