Recently I had to deal with a little bit of inflammation and pain on a tooth that has given me trouble over the years. After visiting with my dentist he advised to take a few over the counter anti-inflammatories. Those who know me well have learned that I must be in my death bed before taking drugs. Call me stubborn, but I believe there are plenty of natural remedies available before you spend $20, $30, $50 on a drug.
What I really wanted was my Turmeric milk!
Complicating matters, there have been a consistent string of winter storms in my area. This area is not used to handling snow or ice, so schools have been closed regularly. My routine has been all over the place and slowed down quite a bit. Ingesting several cups of milk per day while hanging out at home didn’t seem like a good idea, but drinking several cups of tea sure did!
Playing around with my milk recipe I came up with a different “tea” version. Wonderful not only for inflammation, but also aids in digestion! A win win in my book! Give it a try! You might decide you like the old version better, but if you are watching your calorie intake this new one is for you!
How to make the tea….
Ginger tea base:
Boil 1 cup of water with about an inch piece of thinly sliced ginger. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or so. You can also make a quart of tea by boiling a quart of water with 1/4 cup of thinly sliced ginger.
Add to the ginger tea:
1 tsp of ground turmeric
1 slice of lemon
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of cracked peppercorn
Enjoy it warm!
