ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BEDTIME DRINK

Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric-Coconut Bedtime Drink
For Better Digestion and Liver Health.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (the absorption of turmeric is actually enhanced when combined with black pepper)
• 1″ piece of ginger sliced
• raw honey to sweeten, if desired 

*Note: If you have an ulcerative intestinal problem, omit the black pepper as it can be problematic with ulcers. Black pepper can even make small cuts in the bowels of people with Crohn’s disease 

Directions:

• In a saucepan add all ingredients (except honey, if using) and whisk to combine
• Heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble
• Then turn heat down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld
• Strain out the ginger
• Add honeyand stir
• Makes 2 servings, so you can share the love

Keep spices on hand for quick use:

3 Tbsp turmeric
2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp powdered ginger
Cover the jar and shake to combine
To use: Mix 1 teaspoon of the powdered mix with 1 cup of milk
