If you don't want to drink it hot you can simply toast the spices in a dry pan before adding them to your drink. I often do that with recipes that call for spices.

When I took turmeric, it did help, but all my bodily secretions turned yellow. I had yellow sweat, yellow earwax-- my bras and underwear turned yellow, my sheets turned yellow, my fingernails turned yellow. It was really weird.

You could add it to water like beekaytee is doing, or I've seen a lot of golden milk recipes that add the spices to warm or cold milk. You could also brew it with tea or add it to hot chocolate. Or in a smoothie, I guess.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks, Sail!

Trying to think how I want to address you now, BKT or Bee or Clydeless. I'm glad you are getting relief with the turmeric and pepper.

My dad used to swear by alfalfa tablets for his arthritis. My mom started taking them and found they helped her cramps. I had been taking them for a variety of aches and pains then I got a nasty cold with a sore throat so swallowing those horse pills was not going to happen. Then I realized that the liquid chlorophyll I'd gotten for Harvey was made from alfalfa, so I sloshed about a teaspoon of that into my hot cocoa. The liquid is sooooooo much more effective, like the tablets caused me to feel less achy but the liquid makes me feel good.

And I'm the dork who can't figure out who BKT/Bee/Clydeless was. Ah well.

What am I forgetting to pack???

I just keep misreading it as BTK, and think that we've got a serial killer aficionado on the board now...

Ahhh, that was my gut guess.
