1 - I started making turmeric paste to give to Zelda who is experiencing joint pain. It's purported to be anti-inflammatory, and I've heard several anecdotal stories from people who swear by it or know someone who does. Zelda seems to love the stuff. I tasted it, and have confirmed that while I share Zelda's dog-ness through my Chinese zodiac sign, I do not have doggy tastes. Ergo, I search for a palatable carrier of the salubrious qualities of turmeric for my own use.
½ cup ground turmeric
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp fresh ginger grated or minced
1 tsp black pepper
¼ cup ghee
1 cup water
optional maple syrup or honey to taste
- Place ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, fresh ginger, black pepper, coconut oil, and water in a small saucepan and place over medium low heat.
- Whisk to combine and cook until it forms a paste and coconut oil is fully melted.
- Transfer to a jar with a lid. Let it cool to room temperature and store in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
- When ready to make turmeric golden milk, place a teaspoon of turmeric paste in a mug and add in hot milk of your choice. Taste for sweetness and add in maple syrup or honey. Give it a stir and enjoy.
