Prepare the Citrus Fruits:

• Wash the 6 oranges and 4 lemons thoroughly under running water.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the oranges and lemons, removing the outer peel while leaving as much of the white pith as possible, as it contains beneficial nutrients.

Tip: Save the citrus peels for other uses, such as adding them to a simmer pot to freshen your home or infusing them in vinegar to make a natural household cleaner.

Prepare the Roots:

• Peel the 1-inch fresh ginger root and 1-inch fresh turmeric root.
• Chop them into smaller pieces for easier blending. (Wear gloves when handling turmeric to prevent staining.)

Blend Ingredients:

In a Vitamix blender or other high-powered blender, add:

• The peeled oranges and lemons, cut into quarters to fit in the blender.
• Chopped ginger and turmeric.
• ¼ cup Manuka or raw honey.
• 1.5 cups coconut water or filtered water.
• 3 tablespoons bee pollen.
• 1 tablespoon black pepper.

Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth.

Strain the Mixture:

• Place a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher.
• Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove any pulp and solid pieces.
• Use a spoon or spatula to press the liquid through, extracting as much juice as possible.

Bottle the Shots:

• Using a funnel, pour the strained liquid into glass shot bottles or small jars.
• Seal the bottles tightly with lids.

Store and Serve:

• Refrigerate the shots for at least 30 minutes before consuming to allow flavors to meld and to chill.
• Shake well before each use.
• Consume 1 shot (about 2 ounces) daily, preferably in the morning.
