Today I'm sharing with you how to make turmeric milk. This is my favorite beverage to have during the winter. I drink this once and sometimes twice a day. It tastes delicious and it's extremely nourishing. I have a special love and appreciation for turmeric. It has helped me heal my body in many ways and I notice a such a difference when I use it. It took many years for me to understand the relationship our digestive system has with the rest of our body. Your gut is your second brain. It is the second largest part of your neurological system! Crazy right? Turmeric contains a compound called cur-cumin. Curcumin is an amazing anti-inflammatory, it's pretty much nature's ibuprofen. This is great if you have any pain or inflammation in the body. Curcumin is also very beautifying. I use turmeric both, internally and externally in the form of a mask (it helps with acne). Your liver will also love turmeric, it is very beneficial for healing the liver. Drinking this will improve digestion and therefore reduce bloating. What better thing to do than to put this in and on (literally)your body? NOTHING. Now please.

The ingredient list is minimal and is as follows:
- 1 cup of almond or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- A dash of pepper
I prefer almond milk but if my fridge is empty of it I will use coconut milk. I pour 1/4 cup of water in a heated deep pan and add the teaspoon of turmeric and the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and stir until everything is mixed well (3-4 minutes) I let it sit for another minute and turn the stove top off. Last but not least, I pour the mixture on a mug and add the almond milk to fill the mug and finally I top it with the dash of pepper and... voila! Enjoy!
