recipe for Turmeric tea

[hutchibk]

I haven't tried it yet, but a friend told me it was really good!

___________________________________________

Turmeric tea recipe from Yogi Bhajan, Yogi Teas

* 1 tsp turmeric powder

* 4 cups water

* 1 cup milk (soy, rice or dairy)

* 2 tbsp almond oil

* liquid sweetener, to taste, optional (honey, agave, maple syrup)


PREPARATION:

Bring water to a boil and add turmeric. Allow to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring to make sure the turmeric is fully dissolved. Reduce heat, add milk and oil and stir well. Add sweetener if desired and enjoy!>>

In lieu of almond oil, try an almond extract and soymilk with almond. Refrigerate the rest and drink it cold as well.

As far as how much, start with a cup or two a day... see how you feel. Of course, anything in excess is not good, but up to 3-4 cups a day should be a reasonable limit.

Also, consider trying these pre-fab Turmeric teas from Dr. Andrew Weil... I haven't tried them either, but I have been waiting and watching for them to become available. Looks like they finally are. I think they can be ordered on Amazon.

I bought the provisions for it tonight and the kettle is just starting to whistle, so I will make some and report back. I can't wait! Glad you liked it, Believe...

OMG!! YUMMY! I used vanilla enriched rice milk in the pitcher when it was done simmering and then added a tbsp of maple syrup in my individual cup... oh wow. This is my new favorite drink. Can't wait to try it cold.

Thank you Brenda and I am enjoying a cup right now as I type this! I had that bottle of almond oil from the first time I made it and knew I would never use it for anything else so I thought I better get ahold of that recipe again! I really do enjoy the taste.

I thought I would bring this to the surface in case others missed this recipe. I love this tea and will enjoy one soon on this extremely dreary rain-soaked day. It is the end of June, right????>>Believe51
