Ingredients (Makes 10–14 servings)
-
1/2 cup raw honey (preferably organic)
-
2–3 tablespoons ground turmeric powder (or freshly grated turmeric)
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
Instructions
-
Add the honey to a clean glass jar.
-
Stir in the turmeric until fully blended, creating a smooth golden mixture.
-
Add the black pepper (and ginger if using) and mix well.
-
Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place. It can last for several weeks.
How to Use
Take 2 tablespoons in the morning on an empty stomach. You can:
-
Stir it into warm (not boiling) water for a soothing drink, or
-
Take it directly if you prefer
If you’re new to turmeric, start with 1 tablespoon and gradually increase.
Tip: Use a dedicated spoon—turmeric can stain.
