Ingredients:
- Fresh ginger root (about 100g or a medium-sized piece)
- 1 cup water (optional, depending on how strong you want it)
- Optional: lemon juice, honey, or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor
Instructions:
1. Wash and Peel the Ginger:
Rinse the ginger root well to remove any dirt. Peel off the skin using a spoon or small knife.
2. Grate or Chop:
Grate the ginger finely using a grater, or chop it into small pieces if you’re using a blender.
3. Blend or Pound:
- Blender method: Place the grated/chopped ginger into a blender. Add about ½ to 1 cup of water (depending on how concentrated you want the juice). Blend until smooth.
- Manual method: If you don’t have a blender, pound the ginger pieces using a mortar and pestle until juicy.
4. Strain the Juice:
Pour the blended ginger mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or jar. Press or squeeze to extract all the juice.
5. Add Flavor (Optional):
You can mix in a bit of lemon juice, honey, or even a dash of cinnamon to enhance the taste and health benefits.
6. Store or Serve:
Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
