- The garlic is optional but adds an extra immune boost and pungency.
- Adjust honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter shot.
- Store the shots in the refrigerator and consume within 5-7 days for optimal freshness.
- Shaking before each use is important as natural settling occurs.
- If you prefer a stronger turmeric taste, use fresh turmeric rather than powdered.
