How to make a Frozen Immunity Shot - Kuvings Cold Press Juicer

bottled orange, ginger & lemon juice, surrounded by fresh oranges, lemon & ginger.

This juice recipe is ideal for those moments when you begin to feel a bit fatigued and your immune system requires a natural boost from nutrient-rich ingredients known for their immune-boosting properties.

While you can certainly consume this juice as a quick shot, I personally enjoy the comforting warmth of adding hot water to it. Additionally, having a batch of this juice prepared and stored in the freezer allows for convenient access whenever you feel the need.

For an intensified immune-boosting effect, consider incorporating this juice into your daily routine for a week or two. This will provide a concentrated dose of immune-boosting nutrients to support your overall well-being.

Taste

The delightful spiciness of turmeric and ginger in this recipe is truly invigorating. It adds a fantastic flavor balance alongside the tangy notes of lemon and the gentle sweetness of honey. Together, these ingredients create a harmonious blend that tantalizes the taste buds and enhances the overall taste experience of the juice.

Ingredients

  • 2 Oranges (peeled)

  • 2 Lemons (peeled)

  • 100g Turmeric (fresh)

  • 100g Ginger (fresh)

  • Raw Honey (optional)

Juicing Time: 6 mins
Juice Qty: 300 ml
Serves: 6

Preparation

Oranges

  • Thinly cut off the orange skin leaving as much white pith as possible

  • Juice whole or cut in half if too big to fit into the wide chute

Lemons

  • Cut off any hard ends

  • Thinly cut off the lemon skin leaving as much white pith as possible

Ginger / Turmeric

  • Wash and dry

  • Cut into thin pieces the size of your thumbnail leaving the skin on

Tip: Keep the orange and lemon peel to use when cleaning the juicer

Method

  1. Start by adding one orange to the juicer to create a base, which helps prevent the turmeric from sticking to the press.

  2. Next, add a handful of turmeric pieces to the juicer, followed by a handful of ginger pieces.

  3. Continue alternating the ingredients, adding more turmeric and ginger pieces until you've used the desired amount.

  4. Save one lemon until last, and juice it to enhance the flavor and acidity of the mixture.

  5. Pour the freshly juiced mixture into ice moulds and freeze until solid.

  6. Once frozen, remove one ice cube from the mould and place it in a mug.

  7. Pour hot water over the ice cube, allowing it to melt and create a warm, soothing drink.

  8. Optionally, add some raw honey to the mug for extra immune-boosting properties and a touch of sweetness.

Tip: Make sure to flush with water immediately after making this juice and add the orange and lemon peel to help clean the press and strainer.
