  1. How do you make your ginger juice? How long is it good for and how do you store it?

  2. Hi Nadine,
    Thanks for the question!
    I use my Breville juicer to juice multiple ginger roots at a time, 5-10 roots. Once the ginger is juiced I pour it into ice cube trays and freeze it. You should get 12-24 cubes. I cube of ginger adds a nice bite to your morning smoothie:) I would keep the ginger for up to 3 months in the freezer.
