I’ve been reading about superfoods again, this week I’m tackling turmeric. Now, turmeric is supposed to be one of the best things that you could eat on a regular basis, but why?

1. Anti-inflamatory

2. Lowers the risk of heart disease

3. Help prevent cancers (especially colon cancer)

4. Fights depression

These are only a few of the health benefits of turmeric but those are the four that mean the most to me! With this in mind, I got this recipe from Meghan Telpner and it worked a treat!

What you need:

1 cup cold water
Sprinkle of nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 whole clove
1cm chunk of ginger
2 teaspoons turmeric
1/4 cup soya milk

Grab a saucepan, chuck everything but the soya milk in and let it bubble way for 10-15 minutes. You’ll see that famous yellow colour immediately, stir that yellow tea while it’s cooking – just be careful not to slosh it around, that troublesome turmeric stains EVERYTHING immediately.

Once you’ve let it simmer away for a while, you’re good to sieve it into a mug, pop in your milk and boom! This tea is spicy and warming, I’ll be drinking it a few times a week to see if I notice a difference in how I feel.
