Idea: Any extra juice can be frozen in ice cube trays and kept in a freezer ziplock bag and pulled out as needed

[@bluestarrbeauty]

That’s what I do. Most ppl don’t know that fresh juice loses most of its nutritional value after 24 hrs refrigerated.

I 100% recommend adding honey and black pepper to the turmeric one. Honey, tumeric and ginger are a classic ayurvedic combination.

[@katisme5137]

I agree. that's what we Asians do in this side of the world. ginger and turmeric are abundance here and so cheap.

[@tinacarr9498]

The pepper actually is needed to help the healing properties of the turmeric to get absorbed better by the body..

Agree with this comment and you have enough ginger there for double the amount of jars imo

[@bluestarrbeauty]

Fat also helps absorption. I take mine when I take fish oil.

[@kimberbeardsley156]

I make this for a company, best black pepper is tellicherry, use honey, lemon and heat to just under a boil to release the cucurimim in the turmeric. Hope that helps next batch.

[@justmeFLB]

Adding black pepper to the turmeric enhances the absorption, not the best tasting but definitely beneficial! Turmeric reduces inflammation and aids in digestion.👍🏾

[@queenizzy01]

Yes! I learned this in one of my college-level nutrition classes! It works similarly to how vitamin C helps iron absorption

Pepper needs to be freshly ground though, not pre-ground, as it is the oils in the peppercorns that do the work 😊

But as in all things either type is still better than none. ;)

You should take the pulp, freeze dry and powder it. Capsule it or just stir it into hot water for a tea... mixing it with ice water and some monk fruit powder would be delicious as a summer drink.

I agree with you about Home Ec. When I was in school many years ago Home Ec was a required class for girls and Shop was required for boys. It’s a shame that it’s not required now. I learned so much in that class. Not only cooking but sewing and other household things.

I miss these kinds of classes. We had both family studies and design and technology in middle school that were mandatory. I remember in design and technology we did woodworking all 3 years, electricity, plumbing, metal work which both my sister and I made cookie sheets in the early mid 90s which my mum still has incredibly stained and etched from decades of cookies. Famimy studies we learned basic sewing, cooking, baking, parenting and nutrition. High school we had both just for grade 9 but family studies was then called parenting and was mostly book work from what I remember. Now I have 1 son who is graduating high school this spring and they've brought back a couple food courses thankfully. My 9th grader knows how to cook basic meals and grill under supervision, he just doesn't have enough confidence in himself yet. The younger kids are in grade 7 and totally a disaster in the kitchen on a good day 😂

[@annpachini2155]

@@jbloom1981 my school days were a long time ago. I graduated high school in 1969 so that’s why they only allowed girls to take Home Ec and boys got to take shop. School was still quite antiquated 🤣🤣🤣

Funny story here: I got out all the ingredients to make the hot pockets. I had just stocked the cupboards and fridge and I was ready to go! Made the filling, instead of onion powder and garlic powder I use onion and garlic. Got the chicken cooked and dropped in the cream cheese and dashed to the garden for some chives. Everything was ready to go-until-I went to the fridge and discovered I bought cinnamon rolls instead of crescent rolls. I pondered for a moment and thought about pasta that you had mentioned and then it hit me, I had puff pastry in the freezer. Can I tell you that this went from a disaster to magnificent meal!! Brushed the tops with egg wash and the parm cheese! My family thinks I am a genius, hhahaha!!! Thanks for sharing Becky!

[@marystoltzfus1009]

Becky, turn your microplane zester upside down, so you have the back of it facing up. Then drag the zester over the lemon. It is faster and more efficient. You can see all the zest and where you have already been on the lemon. Just tap the zester on a board to release the zest and to zest some more.

My high school had a home ec course for boys called Bachelor Living. It comprised budgeting, how to do laundry, some cleaning, marketing, cooking, ironing, hand sewing, and following recipes for baking and cooking . It became one of the most popular senior classes for guys. The girls were also offered a shop class, but the teacher didn’t make the class as interesting as the guys “Bachelor” course

Becky, you probably would like golden milk. It's a drink from India and my whole family likes it, and my kids always ask for it. It entails warming a pot with a spoon of Ghee (just a bit) and adding ground turmeric, ginger and cinnamon, honey and almond milk. Whisk it until warm and serve warm. There are lots of recipes online.

[@interestedobserver9352]

Great idea for a health drink. Definitely add a tiny pinch of pepper to the turmeric jar when you open it and you can always add honey as well. Turmeric is so beneficial you shouldn't leave it out if at all possible.

[@ananyadutt1]

Hey Becky, if you have used organic turmeric, then put the stained items under direct sunlight for couple of hours and the stain should disappear 😊. I hope it works for you. BTW love your vlogs. Take care.

[@rituparnaadak4867]

Hey Becky, it just doesn’t matter if you have or haven’t peeled the ginger. It does not affect the taste, if you are making a powder after freeze drying it. If not making it into a powder, it will give a bit of a texture. I am from India and I cook with ginger every single day. I don’t peel my ginger either. Thanks for your videos, they really are amazing 😊😊

Hi! I was so glad to see you making these shots! I make a version of this as well. I mix fresh turmeric, ginger, pineapple, mandarin orange, and a little carrot. I also add a little fresh cracked pepper to activate the turmeric. I use a juicer, but definitely you can use a blender and nut bag. This concoction is SO delicious, and amazingly good for your body. I do not peel my ginger or turmeric. I do take all of the pulp I get from juicing and freeze it. I then add the frozen pulp to smoothies for a nice kick of flavor and nutrition! ❤

Adding black pepper helps your body to absorb all the nutrients from the ginger tumeric and lemon. I add a whole unpeeled lemon to the juicer which extracts more of the nutrients . Sooo good for you! ❤

[@isaac8751]

I agree you need the black pepper to activate the turmeric.

[@haleyleach6165]

Idea 💡- What if you blended and separated each ingredient- Ginger, Lemons, Turmeric- individually and then just blended the juices? You'd have the individual pulps to freeze dry! So then You'd get powdered ginger and turmeric and freeze dried lemon powder to make Lemondade with! (Just add water and sugar 😋) Also, what do you think of adding raw honey to the ginger turmeric shots for extra, extra health benefits? (And mostly for sweetness, because WOW!) 💜💜💜

[@kathleenclark5877]

I always chop up the extra parsley, for example, as you only ever need two tablespoons for a recipe and then the rest of the bunch of parsley can be completely redundant, and put it in ice cube trays with a dash of water (run on sentence or what?). Then I can pop the cube in stews or soups. I also do this with tomato paste. Again, most recipes require two tablespoons. So I measure out the two tablespoons, place them in ice cube trays and, once frozen, put them in freezer bags for future use. At which point I feel completely virtuous! Thanks again, Becky for one of your most enjoyable videos. I will definitely try the ginger shot!

[@francescaarcabascio1810]

Hi Becky! Always happy when your videos pop up, thank you! I can finally relax and watch.

[@samanthanewton9741]

I have been making ginger/turmeric/ lemon shots for a couple years now for me and husband and we LOVE them. We do add black pepper but just before we take the shot. They really do give you a boost of energy and kinda clear your mind (sounds crazy but they really do). I started making them with my Vitamix like you did here and quickly moved into an inexpensive juicer that I have been using now for 2 years and is still holding strong. I only pain $50 for it on Amazon. We sometimes get out of the habit of taking them ( that is where I am now) and this is a good reminder to start again so thank you :) They are in my freezer I just need to thaw.

[@cheyennedesmet5386]

I love the idea of processing each item in the shots separately to save the different pulps for drying. I would recommend freezing yor shots in ice cube trays and storing in a silicone reusable bag in freezer. Saves space and the jars for other fun canning projects.

So I chop the entire lemon, chop a bunch of ginger, put in jar and cover with honey. Leave out on counter for two to three days then keep in the fridge. The honey thins out with the juices. Just take a table spoon full when dealing with cough, sore throat or the threat of exposure from someone else. So good!

You can also use cayenne pepper to activate turmeric, if you prefer that taste. I dried my pulp (unpeeled and well washed; turmeric, ginger, pineapple and lemon) in a very low temp oven overnight. Ground that into a fine powder. I use that powder in my smoothies every morning. 🙂

We have a ginger raised bed. Whenever I need a piece of ginger, I dig down, snip off a piece, and put back in soil. It stays beautifully in the soil. It sprouts in the spring. We snip off some of the sprouts,to chop and ad to dishes. It has multiplied greatly, over the years. It just keeps on spreading. All I did in the beginning , years ago, was purchase a piece of organic ginger, from the grocery store, and dug it down in soil, laid it flat and covered it. It’s just wonderful, knowing I have ginger, whenever we need it.

I really feel like they help with immunity, energy levels, and turmeric is an amazing anti-inflammatory. Thanks for another great video. Cheers to your good health!

so looked for how to make shots and I found this as add on to help with more Ingredients And Substitutions: Oranges - oranges add sweetness and help balance the spiciness of the ginger. Any variety of orange works well in this recipe. I usually use an heirloom navel orange (when I can find them) or cara cara orange since these tend to be sweeter. Lemons - add brightness. You can also use limes! Ginger - fresh ginger adds mega health benefits. No need to peel it! Turmeric - fresh turmeric adds even more health benefits. No need to peel it! Black pepper - helps to activate the turmerics' health benefits. We only need a pinch, so you won't even taste it. Water - helps the blender get moving. You may need more or less depending on your blender. If you are using a juicer, omit it.

I juice lemons and ginger and freeze them in silicone ice cubes trays. I pipe them out of the trays and put them in a freezer container. I put them into hot water or tea. I LOVE them! I haven’t tried turmeric but I may have to give it a whirl 😊

I wouldn't worry too much about forgetting to add honey or black pepper,you can always add a small amount to the single shots when needed.Informative as always.

The crescent roll pockets sound delicious! So looking forward to seeing your garden growing this summer and in he years to come!

I think the idea of freeze drying that liquid would work. Freezing it in ice cube trays,then pop frozen cubes in a plastic bag,would be a space saving way to store them. Just a thought I had is to add to some tea might be yummy😊 The chicken pockets look yummy too.

I have made the chicken pocket recipe but have layered it in a 9 x 9 pan and cut it into squares. It's delicious that way too! Thanks for the reminder that I need to make that again too.

I also usually make ginger shot but in a different way. Pour the water into a saucepan, grate the ginger, squeeze the lemon. heat to 60 gr (do not boil) and let it heat for approx. 15 min. strain everything and add a little honey Helene in sweden

[@kiriaioulia]

One of my favorite teas is a Ginger/Tumeric tea....I've never heard of the shots before - I'm so intrigued!

[@kimkerley4218]

I was thinking that you homeschooled sister. 😊Love you teaching how to make the ginger turmeric shots. Yay! 😊

[@batteredbacon]

On your lunch dish you can use puff pastry which is essentially croissant dough....I make them but use chicken thighs and add mushrooms...

[@nrobinson7951]

The wraps look good.

[@teriparrish]

I use ice cube trays for these. I also add black pepper to mine.

[@milliefigueroa5754]

Add garlic and a little bit of honey, perfect shot! Been doing this for my son and myself, we both have very low immune systems and it’s an amazing, all natural emu energy for the pass 4 hrs, God bless we haven’t gotten sick with other proper precautions ❤

[@sourdoughsavant22]

I got $0.19 ginger and turmeric shots at Aldi (close to best by date) such a great find!

[@phyllisgabourel7506]

I love the idea of juicing your own and making it taste how you like it and I can’t wait for your garden growing season ❤

I have ginger and tumeric growing in fabric pots. They did pretty good last year and I brought them in over the winter and let them die back. I've moved them outside and am now waiting on the green leaves to grow again. I've dug up a small piece of the ginger to check it out and it's rooted and looks (and tastes) amazing! Lots of new tubers and roots and now...bring on the shoots! I'll likely harvest some this fall, once the leaves die back again and bring the rest inside for winter (Zone 7b) and also get them both in larger pots for an even bigger harvest. It's my understanding that if you're patient and allow the tubers to mature, the more tubers you'll get! Sorta like asparagus...but not cold hardy.

I may have to try this. I take ginger root and turmeric pills every day to help with my heel pain. It works!
