When it says turmeric powder, is that the spice you buy at the grocery store in the spice section?
Hi Eleanor, yes. Please see the wonderful health benefits of turmeric here: http://juicing-for-health.com/facts-about-turmerics-cancer-inflammation-reversing-powers.html. You can use either fresh turmeric root, or the turmeric spice powder. Both work well.
Hello, my husband and I like to use Curcumin 2000x by Bell. It’s a supplement that has turmeric in it. It can be taken three times a day and has piperine in it already.
Hi Leslie, I take curcumin supplement with piperine as well and love how it strengthens my immunity. This golden milk is also a good way to consume turmeric and enjoy of its full health benefits. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve tried but can’t develop a taste for this drink or for turmeric. Any suggestions on making the golden milk more palatable? Thanks.
Hi Donna, it might take a few tries to get used to the taste/smell of turmeric if you’re using it for the first time. So use just a pinch the first time and gradually increase up to 1/4 teaspoon. Another way of doing this is to add it to any hot beverage that you like! 🙂
