Wellbeing Wisdom

Ginger can help digestion, reduce nausea, help balance blood sugar and may even reduce pain.
Tumeric is a naturally powerful antioxidant. It can also act as an anti-inflammatory.

Ingredients

  • 200g caster sugar
  • 200ml water
  • 8 cm ginger, grated
  • 200ml pisco (or white tequila)
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 4 tsp orange zest
  • 1-2 tsp orange extract
  • 4 organic egg white
  • A few dashes of orange bitters (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the sugar, water and ginger together until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer until reduced by half to a syrup. Leave to cool.
  2. Combine everything except the zest and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until well mixed and the egg white has foamed completely. If you don’t have a shaker, use a blender but only add a couple of ice cubes so you don’t make a slushie.
  3. Serve with zest and a few drops of bitters on top.
