Recently i have been having problems with my thumb, wrist and arm. I have done a lot of internet study on carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet syndrome, remedies and exercises. I have also done quite a bit of research on the herb tumeric that is used for inflamation. I came across the recipe and decided to give it a try. I was quite suprized at how well it tasted. I am not a big fan of tumeric, but in this drink I feel like I am drinking a blonde hot chocolate...kinda ....I have been drinking it once every day for 3 days straight. I look forward to drinking it, but can't really say it is working yet.
In order to make this tea you first make the tumeric paste which after it is cooled it will be stored in the fridge until ready to make tea.
Tumeric paste
- Take 1/4 cup turmeric powder, mix with 1/2 cup pure water and simmer over medium-high heat for at least 7 minutes, stirring constantly. You will notice a thick paste form.
- If it get's too dry while cooking you can add additional water.
- Once cooled, put into a glass jar and put in fridge. This is good for up to one month.
Golden Milk:
Add 1 tsp. to 1 cup. hot milk (cow, goat, soy, rice, almond, or any combination),
maple syrup or honey to taste and 1/2 tsp. of almond or sesame oil.
Gently heat and stir.
My family loves this just before going to bed.
