Known as the “spice of life” in India, turmeric seems to be considered at the moment as one of the most powerful herbs in the world.

To make turmeric paste:
Pour the water into a small pan and bring to a boil.
Finely grate the ginger and add it to the pan together with the turmeric powder, cinnamon, black pepper, nutmeg and coconut oil.
Stir continuously on a medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes. If the paste is too thick, add a small splash of water and continue stirring.
Give the paste to the clean jars, seal and let cool. It will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

To make the Golden Milk, gently heat a cup of nut milk or dairy alternative of your choice (in a pot or kettle). The milk should be lukewarm and too hot. Whisk in 1 generous teaspoon of the turmeric paste and the honey or another sweetener of your choice. Serve immediately.
