Good and good for you? That's what we call a perfect recipe.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups of unsweetened coconut milk (or another non-dairy milk)
  • a cinnamon stick
  • a 1-inch piece of turmeric root, unpeeled and thinly sliced*
  • a 1/2-inch piece of ginger, unpeeled and thinly sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoons of raw honey (to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon of whole black peppercorns (aids in turmeric absorption)
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla (optional)
  • *You can also substitute 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder but it will settle to the bottom so be sure to stir frequently when pouring and drinking.
Instructions
  1. Stir all ingredients into a small saucepan and bring them to a low boil. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-12 minutes. If you used fresh turmeric, taste the mixture first to be that it's simmered long enough to cook off the bitterness. Strain into mugs and enjoy!
  2. Let any extra mixture cool and pop it into the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
