, I have to give someone a shout out. I just received a comment. in my cauliflower recipe video and I want to share it with you, well, this is from Anthony, he just wrote to me and he says hello from San Antonio. Interesting, the date you uploaded your cauliflower video to YouTube was the day after I almost had my heart attack. one year later and thanks to changes in my lifestyle and some of your recipes, especially using cauliflower to replace other ingredients, I lost 94 pounds and my cardiologist reduced my medications from 9 to 4, keep doing what you do, Anthony now just I mean, Anthony, that's fantastic. keep doing what you're doing buddy you know you're on the right track now that being said today's recipe uses turmeric.

make

golden milk just to

make

sure it is right for you in your situation. Okay, now let's go over those ingredients, so here are our ingredients. I have 1 cup of almond milk that you could use. whatever milk you like, whether it's coconut or even just cow's milk, that's fine, we've got some freshly cut ginger here. I cut it into nice thin slices so I can get a good surface because I'm just going to put that in the milk and let it simmer now I'm using turmeric.

I'm using organic. I'm trying to use the best ingredients I can get. Guys, you want to use a little bit of pepper because that helps improve the absorption of the turmeric by two. thousand percent so you definitely want to put that in there and I'm using a little bit of butter here for a little fat for the same reason you can use coconut oil if you want or even olive oil but just make sure you add a little bit of type of fat to milk I like cinnamon, so I'm using cinnamon here. In fact, it's my favorite spice, so I add a little.

I'll need some kind of sweetener. I like to use honey. You could use stevia or you know, any type of sweetener you like will work. I have a big discussion about a previous video where I am making flourless chocolate chip cookies and I am adding honey to the recipe and there has been quite a discussion about whether you heat honey when baking or cooking which makes it toxic, so you know, guys, if you want to check out that discussion and participate, I'll leave a link in the description of this. video and you can go watch it.

I personally, you know, I try to add my honey when my liquid here and this drink has cooled down a little bit, so I'm not going to destroy the enzymes and the healthy properties of the honey. just keep that in mind and yeah now we're going to get started and put this together guys so a word of caution I'm going to add the turmeric to my pot here and I'm going to add a heaping teaspoon make sure you're very careful with turmeric stains like crazy, so you see, I have a paper towel here and I'm going to put my spoon on top, there's my cinnamon and more, just because, like I told you, I love that stuff and it goes ginger and pepper.

I'm going to break this down a little bit here, sort of. I'm going to take this on the stove and we're going to heat it up, then I turn on the flame, I put it on medium low heat and we're going to stir this to combine everything and I'm just going to tell you some of the some of the

benefits

of turmeric now according to The Huffington Post can help relieve heartburn and indigestion could prevent heart attacks delayed diabetes that has There have also been many studies done in rats where turmeric, which you know, could help with brain health, could help prevent depression, shows promise with Alzheimer's patients and improves their memory, can help with joint pain and arthritis, but since I gave you a warning before you realize it.

If you're on medications and things like that, turmeric can slow blood clotting, so there are a few things to pay attention to, and like I said, let me repeat that. Please consult your doctor to be sure once you have taken golden milk. It's nice and hot, you can pour it through a strainer. I'm going to take out the ginger and place it on my plate here. Now I'm going to add the butter, so my last addition now is the honey, my tea. it cools my milk it cools a little and I like to add my honey now let me try this mmm such a wonderful flavor guys it's earthy it's obviously warm it has a little bit of sweetness the cinnamon comes through which I love it it has a little bit of Spicy with pepper and ginger.
