Turmeric Toddy

Brrrrr......Baby it's cold outside!

It was 28 degrees this morning when I went to feed my goat girls! Well, that may not seem cold to my friends in northern states or Canada. But, for this Texas farm chick, it is chilling to the bone. None the less , I had committed to Monday Bootcamp so....I bundled up and headed to meet a few friends for our outdoor workout,in town. When I returned home with frozen toes (my injiji socks for my five fingers are buried deep in a box in storage, I presume)and fingers that could barely move, I whipped up a Tumeric Toddy.It warmed me right up! It's loaded with nourishment, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. It increases circulation and is so comforting. So, if you are looking for a pick me up that will warm you up .....here is a recipe that is sure to deliver.

6-8 ounces milk (almond, coconut, raw cow or goat milk-your preference)

1 tsp of Tumeric
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ginger
1/2 tsp of cardamom
1/4 tsp of cayenne
1 Tbsp of grass fed butter (like kerrygold) or coconut oil.
1 tsp raw local honey ( you may substitute stevia or not use any at all)

You may use a Vitamix to blend and warm your toddy or heat slowly on a stove top. Pour into mug and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon.

Enjoy~
