Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons ground turmeric
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 -2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
4 teaspoons chai tea
1 cup water
artificial sweetener, to taste
1/2-1 cup warm milk (almond milk etc) or 1/2-1 cup coconut milk (almond milk etc)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together and store in a glass jar.
  • Note: Cayenne pepper, although optional, will speed the turmeric through the blood stream by relaxing blood vessels down to capillaries, allowing more turmeric to get to the infections faster.
  • To make the tea (single serving): Bring water to boil, pour water over spices and steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve; add sweetener and milk.

TURMERIC TEA

Turmeric milk is a simple infusion of warm milk with turmeric that exists with countless variations in homes across India, where it's known as haldi doodh. The drink might include black pepper, and a touch of jaggery or honey to sweeten it. This hybridized version lies somewhere closer to a masala chai with a dose of black tea and a spoon of fresh grated ginger. The recipe makes two dainty portions, or one robust one, but it's in the spirit of things to play with the ratios to suit your own taste, to use your sweetener of choice and even to replace the milk entirely with almond or cashew milk. Cooking with powdered turmeric is less messy than with fresh, and won't require gloves to keep your fingers from staining.
