I have given up coffee and alcohol for lent. And trying to get healthier. Since I cannot drink anything at night, really, except for water with slices (cucumbers, oranges, lemons etc) I am trying some other things. No, I'm trying not to drink sodas either. Normal tea has caffeine and defeats the purpose. Tumeric tea. This is good for me since the coconut has potassium and can help my leg cramps. Which I'm getting since I have started working out. I might use this mix in my morning Chai teas.
from http://wellnessmama.com/223/turmeric-tea-recipe/ most seem like this.
- 1 can of Coconut Milk plus 1 cup of water OR 3 cups of homemade coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric (where to find it)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (where to find it)
- 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup or to taste
- Pinch of black pepper (increases absorption)
- Tiny piece of fresh, peeled ginger root or ¼ tsp ginger powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.
- Pour into a small sauce pan and heat for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- Drink immediately
