Notes
- Tweak the flavors: Sweeten and adjust the spice ratio according to taste, etc.
- For maximum curcumin absorption: Pair it with black pepper and fat (in this case, high-fat milk like coconut milk) for maximum absorption and impact.
- Use fresh spices: To get the most nutrients, benefits, and flavor.
- Don't bring the mixture to a boil: It can reduce the nutrients (and benefits) within the spices.
