Turmeric is amazing, but poorly absorbed. This delicious
adaptation of the Ayurvedic recipe provides lots of turmeric and increases
absorption with quality fat and a good dose of piperine from black pepper.
Make Turmeric Paste
Mix ½ cup turmeric powder to 1 cup of water and bring to
a low simmer. Add a tablespoon of
coconut oil, ghee, or butter. Stir for 8-10 minutes and add extra water as
required. The consistency should be a soft paste.This is your turmeric paste
that you can keep in a glass container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Make Golden Milk
To make one cup of golden milk, put one teaspoon of the
paste into a saucepan with a level teaspoon of cinnamon powder, half a teaspoon
fresh or powdered ginger, one or two whole cloves, and about half a teaspoon of
freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well.
Pour in 1 cup of your choice of milk, I often use almond
milk and bring to low simmer. Continue to stir for a few minutes. Dissolve in a
teaspoon of honey to sweeten and then pour yourself a big mug of delicious
golden milk.
