Lemon Ginger Turmeric Shot is a refreshing homemade juice made from lemon, ginger, turmeric, and a pinch of black pepper. This simple blend offers bold, natural flavors and is often enjoyed for its zesty and warming taste
This is part of my morning wellness routine, I take a shot first thing in the morning before my activities and it's my go-to recipe every time. If you don't own a juicer, don't worry because a blender will do a perfect job as well.
If you are a lemon lover, then zesty desserts will be your favorite too. This Lemon bundt cake, orange cake, lemon loaf cake or orange poppy seed cake is just irresistible with the softest crumb.
