Non-alcohol ginger shots are a very simple type of drink, good for digestion. We can also eat some fresh ginger instead of chili, as it is less aggressive but still nicely hot. We can make ginger shots using fruit or vegetable juice and sweeten with sugar, honey, maple syrup or agave nectar.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• ginger
• apples and cinnamon OR
• cucumbers and honey

HOW I MAKE THEM

When I make apple pie, I use the juice from grated apples. I grate ginger and squeeze juice from it using hands or pushing it against a strainer. I add it to the apple juice, sweeten, add cinnamon, stir well and serve in small glasses.

When making cucumber raita, I save the cucumber juice. I add ginger juice and honey and serve.

Carrot ginger shot is also great. I use carrot and apple juice, add lemon or lime juice, ginger juice, and sweetener, stir well and serve.

Keep going and be well.

My mind is sharp, my heart is soft.
