Turmeric and Coconut Golden Milk Recipe
A warming anti-inflammatory blood sugar balancing drink that tastes divine.
If you have insomnia where you get to sleep ok but wake up at 2 or 3am, try having this before you go to bed to help balance your blood sugar levels. Kids also love it. Wonderful for brain health and auto-immune inflammatory conditions.
Ingredients:
- Dried Turmeric (I use a medicinal form of turmeric powder which comes in a capsule called BioMedica CurcuForte. This is concentrated form of turmeric). I use 2 of these capsule for 2-3 cups. Or if using powdered Turmeric spice, add one teaspoon for 2-3 cups.
- Coconut milk. Canned or make your own fresh (preferably organic canned and BPA free can if possible). Or you can use another milk of your choice.
- Coconut oil
- Manuka or non-heat treated honey (use less honey or none, if insomnia is your problem)
- Fresh ginger (grate 1-2 thumb sizes)
- Spices as per your preference and taste (per cup use approximately 5 cardamom pods, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2-3 star-anise, 2-3 cloves, tiny touch of black pepper)
Method:
- In small saucepan heat on high temperature the coconut oil (1 teaspoon per person/cup), turmeric, fresh ginger and spices until fragrance is released from spices.
- Add water (1/2 cup of water per cup or per person approximately). Bring to the boil.
- Add in coconut milk or milk of your choice. Continue to heat, but do not boil.
- Strain, serve and add honey to taste.
