Tips

  • Don't skip adding black pepper as it helps absorb curcumin from turmeric.
  • You can make a big batch and put some in the freezer for later and some in the fridge for immediate use.
  • If freezing, leave at least 2" headspace in the jar to allow for expansion.
  • Adjust the amount of water to make shots weaker or stronger.
  • Take a shot every morning on an empty stomach for a natural energy boost.
