Making lemon and ginger shots is simple. You'll need:
 Lemon and Ginger Shots
Ingredients
1 large lemon (for fresh juice)
1-inch piece of ginger root
1 tablespoon of honey (you can adjust this to taste)
1/2 cup of water (optional, to dilute if it's too strong)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a cup or a small bowl.
Peel the ginger root and grate it finely to maximize its juice and nutrients.
Mix:
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and grated ginger. If you have a garlic press, you can also press the grated ginger to get more juice out of it.
Strain:
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a glass. This step is optional if you don’t mind the ginger bits, but it makes for a smoother shot.

Stir in the honey until it's fully dissolved. If you're using the optional water to dilute the shot, add it now and mix well.
Serve:
Enjoy your lemon and ginger shot immediately for the best taste and health benefits.

The combination of lemon, ginger, and honey is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, making it a powerful ally for your health. Enjoy!
