Instructions

Turmeric paste:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour the water into a small pan and bring to a boil, preferably using a non-stick pan (Note 1).
  2. Add: Finely grate the ginger and add it to the pan together with the turmeric powder, cinnamon, black pepper, nutmeg, and coconut oil.
  3. Whisk well for about half a minute until it becomes difficult to whisk.
  4. Stir continuously, using a wooden spoon (Note 2), on medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes. If the paste is too thick, add a small splash of water and continue stirring.
  5. Refrigerate: Place the paste into the clean jars, seal, and cool. It will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Golden milk:
  1. Gently heat one cup of milk of your choice. The milk should be lukewarm and not hot.
  2. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of the turmeric paste and the honey or another sweetener of your choice. Serve immediately.
Golden tea:
  1. Stir 1 teaspoon turmeric paste into a cup of hot water.
  2. Add honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste, it should have a strong sweet-lemony flavor.

Notes

  • Use a small non-stick saucepan, the risk of the paste catching to the bottom of the pan disappears and the pan is very easy to clean.
  • Turmeric stains, so if you use a wooden spoon, the spoon will become orange.
