Fresh orange juice with ginger

This drink is a true 'immune-shot' long drink version. The Vitamin C of orange and the gingerol content of ginger form a strong anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting pair. Not only healthy, but the piquancy of ginger makes the simple sweetness of orange juice exciting, waking up the taste buds. Perfect morning waker-upper instead of or alongside coffee.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Honey

Instructions

1

Squeeze the oranges. Leave the pulp in or strain according to taste.

Tip: Fibre slows down fructose absorption, so it is healthier to leave it pulpy.
2

Peel the ginger, then grate it on the finest grater.

Tip: Ginger fibres are tough, so fine grating is important. Or just squeeze its juice into the mix with your hand.
3

Dissolve the honey in 50ml lukewarm water.

Tip: In cold orange juice, the honey would harden. Dilution helps homogenization.
4

Mix the orange juice, grated ginger (or its juice), and the honey water.

Tip: Taste it! If too spicy, add more water or orange.
5

Fill glasses with ice and pour the drink over it.

Tip: Ice softens the piquancy of the ginger.
