SINED BENCH, HANDS AND UTENSILS? 

TIP: For a natural stain remover, mix baking soda with water to form a paste. Rub on the affected area, rinse and repeat until stain has disappeared. 

 

Ingredients

1 inch of fresh turmeric sliced
1 inch of fresh ginger sliced
1 tbsp coconut oil
500ml coconut milk or almond milk
1 tsp powdered cinnamon
1 tsp maca powder (optional)
1 tsp coconut syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by slicing the turmeric and ginger and then put these in a saucepan with the milk, coconut oil, cinnamon, maca and syrup if using (it’s totally optional to leave it out – and healthier if you do)
  2. Bring to a simmer and leave for 5 minutes
  3. At this stage if you have time, leave for a further 10 minutes to allow the ginger and turmeric to infuse a little longer
  4. Pour everything into a high powered blended (e.g. a Nutribullet or Vitamix – note, they’re just recommendations but you can use any blender of your choice) and then blend on high speed for 30 seconds to liquify the turmeric and ginger and create a nice froth on the tea
  5. Serve and enjoy!

This drink alone will keep you going for several hours in the morning if you’re up early for a work session, meditation or exercise. I love to have this if I’m up at 4 AM or 5 AM for an early morning writing session (I do my best writing before the sun is up!) and I then have breakfast with the family at 8 AM. With this drink I don’t even think about food until breakfast.
