I have always had an issue with inflammation.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when I was 12. When my dad passed in 2012 my oldest brother
was staying with us through the funeral services. Steve likes to cook and he
gets creative to the point of “that’s scary” quite often. So when he started
looking through the spice cabinet while cooking I got a little scared.
Thankfully that meal was only for him as it was a curry and no one else cares
for them.
While he was looking through the spices he
started talking to me about the health benefits of each one. When he found the
turmeric he told me that this was one that I needed to work more into my diet.
Of course I asked why, and he shared with me that it helps with inflammation
and cold relief as well as a bunch of other benefits.
I had forgotten about that conversation
until I was floating around on pinterest
as so many of us do and there was a glass of “golden milk” on my screen. I
clicked on it to see what it was and was surprised to see that it contains
turmeric. Then when I started following TrimHealthy Mama they came out with the Singing Canary…. I tried it to curb a craving for orange juice. So then I went searching for the specific
benefits of turmeric and wow did I find a lot. I also found a bunch of recipes
for Turmeric Tea …
I made a couple of them and wasn’t impressed
until I started changing ingredients around… This is my version of Turmeric
Tea.
