Studies have looked into the benefits and found that it’s a superstar anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. That’s thanks to the active ingredient, curcumin<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIt helps protect skin against free radicals (those pesky atoms that cause damage to our skin’s DNA) and reduces inflammation<\/a>. Translation: It keeps your skin looking youthful and helps your body function optimally.\r\n

What is turmeric milk?<\/h2>\r\nTurmeric milk (aka turmeric tea or golden milk) is a soothing, warm beverage that’s a little bit spicy and 100 percent delicious. Black pepper helps the curcumin in the turmeric become more bioavailable (read: your body absorbs it better). A warm cup of turmeric milk before bed can\u00a0help you sleep better<\/a> and aid digestion<\/a>.\r\n

About This Recipe<\/h2>\r\nOur golden milk recipe uses coconut milk as the base, although you could substitute in any type of milk you like. We also use the turmeric in our Turn Back Time supplements<\/a>. Turn Back Time pairs turmeric with vitamin C and phytonutrients to further help protect cells from free radical damage. To use the supplement contents in a recipe, simply twist and pull apart the capsules to empty the contents into your saucepan. However, if you don’t have Turn Back Time on hand you can just use regular dried turmeric from your pantry, instead.\r\n\r\nWe also included coconut oil as a source of healthy fat. Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs<\/a>. If you prefer to use MCT oil directly, or no oil at all, this recipe will still work wonders. Finally, ginger provides a kick of flavor while also promoting your immunity.\r\n\r\nBelow, our turmeric milk recipe in detail.\n
