Now that we understand the incredible benefits of this natural elixir, let’s take a closer look at how to prepare it:
Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon of organic turmeric powder (or fresh turmeric root, if available)
• 1 tablespoon of raw, unprocessed honey
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper (optional, but highly recommended for enhanced absorption of curcumin)
• 1/2 cup of warm water (not boiling, as excessive heat can degrade the properties of honey)
Instructions:
• Prepare the Ingredients:
• If using fresh turmeric root, peel it and grate about 1-2 inches of turmeric into a fine paste. If using turmeric powder, measure out 1 tablespoon.
• Choose raw, organic honey, as it retains the most health benefits. Avoid processed honey, as it may lack the enzymes and nutrients found in raw honey.
• Mix the Turmeric and Honey:
• In a small bowl or cup, combine the turmeric powder (or turmeric paste) with the honey. Stir them together until they form a thick, consistent paste. The natural stickiness of honey will help bind the turmeric, creating a uniform mixture.
