@@bluelilly22222 maybe not with the lemon juice in it, but the zest should give it the citrus the flavor without the acidity. However, I’m not a doctor, please check to see what foods are recommended and which ones to avoid.
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.
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!
Adding black pepper to the turmeric enhances the absorption, not the best tasting but definitely beneficial! Turmeric reduces inflammation and aids in digestion.👍🏾
@@jessicapearson9479 i guess it depends on who taught you naturopathy, the university i went to , here in Canada, we studied it with the pepperine ( oil from the peppercorn) and then effect were much better using freshly ground ( apologies for the typo' s lol, im french Canadian 🤷♀️.) But as in all things either type is still better than none. ;)
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 😂
@@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 🤣🤣🤣
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.
@@joannc-joannscreations Dehydrator or you can put the pulp on a cookie sheet and bake it at the lowest setting your oven will allow. Then blend into a powder.
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.
Love your videos Becky! Just an idea...You could freeze some of your ginger shots in ice cube trays for when you want to add it to your drinking water this summer :)
Awesome idea. I have to admit I'm lazy and buy the frozen ginger. It's about a teaspoon in size. I'm trying to use more in dishes bc of the health benefits.
Becca!! I filled the cinder blocks in my garden beds up with play sand from Lowes. So no black widdows or anything can live in there. So my 2 year old grandson is safe hanging out with me in my garden. Best thing I ever did!
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.
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 😊😊
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!) 💜💜💜
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.
The chives will also always be the first thing you ever harvested in your new home❣️🤗 I love watching all that you do. It tells a lot about the kind of person you are - authentic! Same with Josh. We may not always see him in front of the camera, but I know, without a doubt, he stays just as busy as you. And all the support he shows you, to me, is top notch! I pray all your dreams come true. I know I’ve certainly seen some of them come true already. Great job Becky, Josh, and baby Acre! I love your channel! 💛🤗💛
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! ❤
SUGGESTION: add some ground black pepper to your turmeric wellness shots, it contains piperine which greatly enhances (2000%!!!) your body's ability to absorb the curcumin in the turmeric.
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.
WOW Becky you are the most awesome person you do so much. Bless you and Josh and also baby A. Good lucky in your new garden it looks great anxious to see planting and harvesting in it.
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!
I would dehydrate what is coming out of the nut bag. Those left over skins most likely would make a good powder for bake goods. To sprinkle some powder in a lemon cookie or in a smooth or the even make a tea.
I absolutely look forward to your videos coming out every few days. You're doing all the things that are in my next 2 years worth of goals. Thanks for the inspiration and breath of fresh air!!
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.
I am working on up potting my tomato 🍅 sprouts, cucumbers and 🫑. I put my seeds in a wet paper towel and into a plastic container used as my little green house. Now they have sprouted, so time to put into soil in small pots till they get bigger. So, i am sitting here doing my thing while watching you. Lol You are great company. 💜 I love to put orange and lemon slices plus cucumber in my water. So refreshing. Why not add some honey to the ginger/ginger one. Sweeten it up some.
I love cold pressed juicers! It’s worth it and especially when you have a lot of fresh produce from the garden. After watching documentary “Fat sick and nearly dead” I’ve been hooked!
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! ❤
Hi Becky , an idea to stretch your ginger and turmeric and get more use from it is those pulp after you first strained it you can add more water to it and use this liquid for adding to your water. You can do these in ice cubes.
I do something similar with lemon, ginger in honey. Lasts a long time in the fridge. Use the entire lemon; seeds pith and all. All the quercetin is in the pith and seed. 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!
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.
Becky, I scrolled across your video and I'm like there's my girl. So excited to be in the garden with you this year. I have a small container garden here at my apartment. I love it. I want to grow more. Haven't gotten into herbs yet. I purchased some mini "green stalks"from Dollar tree. Not ready for the "big girls"(green stalks) yet. Hope to move this year to some place with more space to grow.
Becky, I look forward to all your adventures and the amazing tips from this amazing group of like-minded viewers. I took home ec in school and we were taught to make baked granola and we learned to sew an apron. It is so very needed these days. My sweet Grandma gifted me the same book she used in her home economics class in 1933. It is a true treasure these days as I learn to cook and try new projects around our little place. Bless you all!
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. 🙂
I love ginger as well! Also love your channel 😊I usually add to recipe fresh pineapple and also a couple of tablespoons of organic honey and black pepper. I believe that black pepper speeds up turmeric absorption.
Yes, black pepper is necessary to activate the beneficial properties of Turmeric. But in order to make it a little more palatable, you should add a few Tbs of honey just to get through that original batch. It can only help and won't diminish the health benefits at all. GREAT idea to make up these shots & freeze them ahead of time, Becky!
I've been making "chicken pockets" for years. I add a little sage or poultry seasoning garlic and onion. Serve with mashed potatoes and a cream of whatever soup (chicken, mushroom, celery) for gravy.
In Europe you can get a yummy mixture consisting of: 25% ginger juice, 10% lemon juice and 65% apple juice. I make it at home during cold season to save money. Sometimes I add a bit more ginger juice but my hubby doesn't like the spicy taste of ginger, buthe does drink it. It has been my lifesaver during cold season for years.
Take your zester to the lemon ... turn the zester over and put it on the lemon .... that way you see where the zest is and don't have to keep looking at the lemon .... zest comes up inside the zester and is easier to dump into what you are making .... helpful hint from Chef Jean Pierre
I’ve made fire cider before- with the garlic and onion, and I have to agree the taste wasn’t great so I ended up not drinking too much of it. Next time I will try and add the warming spices like you do! Sounds like it would be amazing with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove combo kind of like wassle! Yum 😋
Hello Becky! I just finished making your breakfast burritos and one hour rolls and yesterday did your No-knead bread. I hope your day is as fantastic as mine love from Maryland, Jeanne ps…YES on the freeze dried pulp!
Just a personal comment, you are looking wonderfully healthy, happy & in shape! Nice going Becky. These ginger, turmeric shots look divine- will try at my house. Thank you.
I make these all the time. Ginger, lemon and I add cayenne pepper. Used to get Kor’s Ginger Lemon shots, looked at the ingredients, recreated it and LOVE it. I didn’t add the coconut milk they use and liked it better. I do have a juicer and bought it mainly for this! Yes, it has a bit of a kick but it’s amazing! It energizes you! I’m so excited you made it!!! 😊
A helpful tip on zesting citrus. Put the zesting tool on top of the fruit and run it back and forth like a bow on a violin. You can easily see where you’ve removed the zest on the peel and the zest stays on the tool.
YOU ARE THE BEST! I have been waiting to see you make these Ginger Shots. I’m so excited to make some. Also the chicken pockets look so delicious. I make these with taco meat and cheese. I tip them with all the yummy toppings just like a taco. They are delicious as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH Becky. Sending you Love and prayers from Texas ❤🙏
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 was so excited about this topic when I saw the title of the video! I can't wait to try and make my own ginger turmeric shots! Thanks for everything you do and taking us along this journey!
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.
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 ❤
Watching you scrub the ginger reminded me that my grandmother.....who canned most of the food for her family of 9....told me that she would take all the cukes she was planning on picking and running them through the rinse cycle without spinning in her washer. I did it and it worked great.
Hi Becky! I Love your Channel! ... if you want to peel the ginger, one trick is to take a spoon and scrape the skin off with it, it comes off easily and it's easier to get into the hard spots!
I make this too and it’s a huge hit at Christmas parties bc I make it into a wreath by laying the crescent rolls in a circle with the wide side at the top and then you roll the thin triangle pint over the chicken mixture. I discovered This recipe when my kids were 2 and was always a kid favorite
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.
Icydk, you can blend whole lemons in the Vitamix, and every part of it is nutritious. I quarter a well scrubbed whole lemon for my green smoothies, and toss it, seeds and all, into my blender. It's delicious. Also, I don't even bother to peel ginger anymore unless I'm cooking with largish chunks of it, and then I only do it for texture reasons. Peeling it doesn't change the flavor at all, so you could dehydrate or freeze dry the pulp either way.
TY! Great video! We juice & freeze the roots & lemon juice separately in ice cube trays, store them in freezer zip loc bags so we can mix & match for days when you may need a little more help.
Last few years i have had daily organic ginger, lemon and tumeric shots. I juice the organic ginger and lemon, it is not easy to get fresh organic tumeric where i am so i buy either a high quality turmeric capsule (decanted into the shot) or liquid drops - these both come with the added pepper (plus a lot more nutrients (volume wise), I also add cayenne pepper & organic Ceylon cinnamon for additional health benefits. I dont add any extra water, so i store the mini jam jars (45ML). Spicy!
Becky please try to use your zested upside down, which is actually the correct way to zest as your moving the tool on the fruit instead of using your hand. I just want you know that you do you, but give it a shot lol . I love your videos ☮️💟
Hi Becky, I make something similar to your ginger shots. It’s called Jamu juice , with ginger, turmeric, lemon , a whole pineapple and a bit of honey. I found the recipe on Apron Strings . My husband and I drink a shot of this every day. We are in our seventies and so far drinking this for over a year, haven’t had a cold or been sick. I just keep it in the fridge and when it’s gone , make more. Thank you for all your hard work. You are such an inspiration to all the young , and old people I may add. Love you !
I got so lucky in my sophomore year of high school and was blessed with a home economics class in the mornings and another home economics class after lunch period everyday. My breakfast and lunches were taken care of.
I've been making the ginger & lemon shots regularly, always have a batch on the go and stocked up in the freezer in the 4oz jars. I buy a kilo of organic ginger and freeze it in portions enough to make a batch. I add manuka honey to mine, it's such a refreshing drink. Thank you so much for this gem Becky!
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.
Hi Becky this is Sue, l like making Ginger juice up as well, l do mine in a food processor and then squeeze all the juice out and freeze pulp for soups,or such, and hoo, l put all the juice in a quart jar and every morning (you have to shake the jar cause the ginger settles,) then add some fresh lemon juice and alittle raw honey, then measure out 2 oz and put it into a 32 oz glass of water and drink that, it is so yummy. just another way to use it,
I used to make a very similar dish years ago. Loved it! It called for 3 oz. softened cream cheese and 2 T. softened butter, mixed; 2 c. cooked, cubed chicken; 1/4 t. salt;1/8 t. pepper; 2 T. milk; 1 T. chopped pimento for the filling for 8 oz. crescent rolls tube. Then brush the top of the stuffed pastry with 1 T. melted butter and dip the pastry top into plate of 3/4 c. crushed, seasoned croutons. I loved the optional sauce poured over the top of 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 to 1 c. milk mixed and heated. YUM!
Hi Becky, I'm from South Africa and I really enjoy watching you cooking and busy in the garden. You make it all look so easy. I also love the weather you guys have. Have a lovely day 😊
Never heard of these shots. Love ginger and turmeric. Fresh turmeric I can get in local Asian stores. The only negative with turmeric is that it stains. Ginger I keep in a glass jar in the refrigerator. Cut it in 1 inch or so pieces then fill the jar with sherry. Keeps forever. If I run low on ginger I add more. The sherry is a great replacement for Chinese wine required in Chinese marinates. Thank you will need to try this
I've made ginger turmeric shots before, but I added some lemons, oranges and chilli flakes. It was good for a week in the fridge and every morning me and my sister drank a shotglas of it. Very refreshing!
Hi Becky. Commercial Ginger and Tumeric is not pealed. The vitamins and minerals are all just under the skin, as with all vegetables. Just put the pulp into the freeze dryer and you will have exactly the same product as you would purchase. 👍😁
Becky, you amaze, inspire, & educate me! I put the clean ginger & quarter the lemons & put in food processor. Put mixture in saucepan & simmer, then strain & keep in fridge for a week & drink every day! Energy & anti inflammatory! To our health! My best to you!🤗
Becky I just received my copy of the Nourishing Traditions Book and the stainless steel strainers you recommended. They are awesome I am also wanting to order America’s Test Kitchen book as soon as I can save the $$$. I have purchased several items that you recommended they have all been top notch. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge of how to be more self sufficient and eat more healthy. You are amazing 😊
I’ve been drinking these (a recipe much like this) for 56 years. My moms friend gave me a shot every morning, The health benefits are amazing. I do suggest you don’t strain the drink. Your body needs the ruffage from the ingredients. My Moms friend was all natural. Everything she made came from her garden, chickens or the neighbors who raised goats and cows. She was amazing. Her only vise was Dr Pepper, lol. Thank you for sharing, it’s much like the recipe I use. P.S. a good quick bread to use instead of biscuit tubes is Greek yogurt bread. 2 ingredients and you’re good to go.
I dry my ginger after I make my ginger shots. It’s a little bit milder and flavor and makes a very delicious tea. I try it in the oven on low and it gives it a little bit of a rusty flavor more like a caramel he ginger tea
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 😊
This has just inspired me to add a third step to my kefir making process. Step 1) Make ginger/lemon shots; Step 2) Use the pulp to flavour my kefir; Step 3) Keep that fermented pulp in the fridge -- when you have a cold, a spoonful of this in some hot water is an amazing home remedy. In the past I've blitzed the ginger/lemon after fementation, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well if it was blended before. Fingers crossed!
