Tips

  • Curcumin in turmeric is fat soluble and needs a fat like olive oil for absorption.
  • Piperine in black pepper increases curcumin absorption up to 2,000%.
  • Use whole lemons and limes with skin on for D-limonene and bioflavonoids.
  • Green tea and nettle base provide antioxidants and trace minerals.
  • You don't need to strain the shots for extra fiber.
  • The pulp can be blended again with water/tea, added to recipes, or steeped for ginger tea.
  • Store in the fridge for under 10 days or freeze in ice cube trays.
  • For a daily shot, add a frozen cube to warm water (not hot).
