Receta Recipe For Turmeric Tea
Given that I have long term inflammation issues, a friend of mine gave me a recipe using turmeric powder. This is a natural anti-inflammatory and has been used for over 3000 years to treat arthritis in Chinese medication. The recipe she shared with me used milk as a base. This was warmed with coconut oil, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon and vanilla and once warm poured into a mug. I also tried it with ginger and nutmeg. Honey was stirred in for sweetening, and despite adding more honey than was recommended, I could not stomach the taste of the turmeric. I turned to Margaret Roberts’ Tea book for inspiration and she makes note that you should not drink turmeric every day. I would suggest having a cup every second day, or if the need is greater, every weekday. The recipe in the book makes use of ingredients I could not source, other than the aniseeds which I bought to make my herbal infusion. Aniseeds are great for lung issues, and as I had a bit of a post nasal drip I decided to add these to what inspired me from the milk recipe. Basically I took the best of everything to make something that tasted great!
