Golden Milk made with Turmeric Paste
Turmeric is one of my all-time favourite spices. I love using it in my cooking as it adds the colour of sunshine and a warm earthy bitterness. I also love it for its awesome therapeutic properties. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. A daily dose of turmeric is great for general health and especially for those suffering from inflammatory conditions. It also has a wonderful protective and tonic effect on the liver and cardiovascular system.
Homemade turmeric paste is an easy way to include this goodness in your daily diet at a therapeutic dose. Making a week to ten days supply at a time means that it is readily on hand and easy to stir into a base of milk or small pot of yoghurt. Personally, I love it in a glass of homemade frothy almond milk however if I am in a hurry I will stir it into a little cold milk and choof it down whilst running out the door! In winter I like my turmeric paste in warm almond milk with chai spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and a teaspoon of raw honey … YUM!…
