Iced 'Coffee' (With Turmeric) image

I came up with this to try to get my daily dose of turmeric in. Turmeric is an Indian spice that is anti-inflammatory. You can take this hot or add ice and drink it cold. Good either way. You could also add in some powdered ginger, if you like.

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup coconut milk (or other milk or milk substitute)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 dashes black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil (coconut for hot drink, olive for chilled) or 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil (coconut for hot drink, olive for chilled)
liquid stevia (or sweetener of choice, I use 8-10 drops of chocolate liquid stevia)
ice

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients, except ice (and olive oil, if you're using that), in a small pot on the stove and heat on medium low until it simmers lightly; remove from stove.
  • If you are using honey or stevia or olive oil, add it now and dissolve; stir.
  • If you're drinking this hot (with the coconut oil), pour into a mug.
  • If drinking cold (with olive oil), pour into a tall travel mug, add ice to fill, mix and enjoy! You might have to stir occasionally to keep it from settling to the bottom.
