Golden Paste Recipe
1/2 cup turmeric powder
1 cup water
1/3 coconut oil (or choice)
2-3 teaspoons freshly cracked pepper
1. Bring turmeric and water to a boil in a saucepan, then lower the heat and simmer until you have a thick paste, about 7-10 minutes.
2. Add freshly cracked ground pepper and oil after removing from heat and cooling. Stir well.
Your paste will keep 2-3 weeks in the fridge. Freeze portions you believe you won't finish in time.
Dosage: Start slow! Take 1/4 teaspoon, or less twice a day (with food), and build up to 3-4 times a day. After the second week, increase the dose to between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon.
Black pepper is added because it contains a special substance that increases the bioavailability of the compounds in turmeric by 2000%. The fat in the oil also increases the absorption of turmeric, making this recipe a synergistic masterpiece!
