Warm Turmeric "Golden Milk"

  Turmeric is an Ayurvedic spice, and also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.  Antioxidants help combat oxidation from harmful free radicals. I use turmeric for patients often to decrease pain, inflammation and preventation of chronic disease.  Turmeric is best absorbed with a small amount of black pepper and a little bit of fat, such as coconut milk.  In this special drink it is served as a milk, warm, and mixed with some cinnamon and vanilla for a nice flavor.  Try it out!

Tip: Be careful about stains from the yellow color of turmeric, it tends to get everywhere!

Healthy tip: Antioxidants work best to be taken on a regular basis, since we are constantly exposed to harmful free radicals from the environment, pesticides in our food, and general aging.


Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbsp Co-curcumin powder by Ayush
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or regular milk (any nut milk would also work well)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Recipe:
  1. Put the turmeric in a mug.
  2. Pour water and the milk into the mug.  Heat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add vanilla extract and cinnamon and serve warm.
Enjoy a few nights a week to get a regular dose of antioxidants.
