Concentrated juice of ginger, lemon and honey
Ginger, lemon and honey combined form the most powerful detoxifier for the body. In addition to the detoxification effect, there is also a strong tonic, which increases the immunity of the body especially during colds. When making this concentrate, we also obtain a by-product: macerated ginger pulp with honey .
Servings
1 liter of concentrated juice = about 50 tablespoons of concentrated syrup (one tablespoon being considered an adult portion ~ 20ml)
Ingredients
Materials
- - roots juicer
- - containers
Preparation
Wash and then peel the ginger.
Wash and then peel the lemons.
We squeeze the ginger the roots juicer. Being a strong root, it is recommended to be cut into smaller pieces so as not to block the juicer.
After we finish squeezing the ginger juice, we put the resulting pulp in a container to create an additional product. Add 2 tablespoons of honey and mix. Thus I formed the first product "ginger pulp with honey", which must be left to macerate ~ 12 hours and kept cold. One teaspoon is consumed in the glass of water, in the tea and even in the coffee (to the imagination).
Ginger juice is put in a larger container.
Cut the lemons into 4 and then squeze with the juicer. The resulting juice is poured over the ginger juice.
Add the honey and mix vigorously.
Put the mixture in a tightly sealed bottle and keep it in a cold place. Thus I finished the main product "ginger honey concentrate".
Administration
Ginger pulp macerate with honey: (~ 12 hours of maceration) forms a product as valuable as the first. Put a teaspoon in various hot or cold drinks, such as teas, coffee, fresh drinks, ... it can be used for cooking.
