Turmeric Tea Recipe for Joint and Bone Health

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup milk, soy milk, or other non-dairy milk substitute
• 1 teaspoon almond oil
• 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions:

1. Stir together the ground turmeric and water in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook, stirring, until a thick paste is formed.
3. Use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of this turmeric paste for each cup of tea.
4. Add turmeric paste, milk, almond oil and honey to saucepan and reduce heat to low.
5. Bring milk just to a boil then remove from heat.
6. Whisk briskly or blend if you prefer a frothier drink.

Cook’s Notes:

• Be sure to use almond oil and not a substitute in this turmeric tea recipe. Don’t try this with olive oil if you’re out of almond oil—you will likely spit it out!
• Almond oil is rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium, and zinc, making it beneficial for skin, hair, and heart health.
• Try adding a little cinnamon to your tea for a flavor boost.
