The weather just continues to be freezing cold and if it's one thing we all love to warm us up , it's a cup of tea ! We all have our favourites Yorkshire tea is awesome , so is Russian Earl Gray but have you ever thought of getting healthy with a spiced tea ? Not the Spiced Chai Latte from Starbucks because you don't really know what kinds of spices they use but one that you can make at home . Yes a Turmeric Tea !
Turmeric , is an Indian spice which is long associated with beneficial health properties . Very few people actually use this spice and if you don't do Indian cooking you would not know in what to use it !!
Turmeric is known for it's bright yellow colour and is often used to colour an Indian Palou ( a delicious rice dish ) Well aside from colouring the rice , it is also used in most other Indian dishes , so Indian people get all the health benefits of turmeric , from their food .
The Benefits of turmeric are plentiful . It detoxes the body . Protects the liver tissue . Boosts immunity . Cleanses and purify 's the blood . Eases symptoms of coughs and colds . Improves circulation . Improves overall appearance of the skin . Prevents internal blood clotting . Reduces bad cholesterol . Reduces inflammation , and last stimulates secretion of bile .
So if you have never cooked Indian food and you still want to be able to use turmeric for all it's health benefits and don't know how , it's simple . You could always add half a teaspoon to a warm glass of milk , like I sometimes do or you could make a delicious tea every day and enjoy your added goodness of turmeric in it !
I shall give you a delicious way to combine it in the tea and feel all the wonderful effects from it when you get healthier and as a result add extra years to your life which everyone so wants ;)
Turmeric and Ginger Tea , it's also a great liver detox !
