Stop Inflammation Tea

This is a variation of a great tea from Malaysia. It is particularly useful for anyone with acute or chronic inflammation in their body.
1. Buy fresh turmeric and cut a piece that is about 1.5 inches long and peel it.
2. Mash the turmeric and put in a small pot.
3. Add about 2-3 cups of coconut milk.
4. Add about 1 tbs. of green or black tea.
5. Sweeten to your taste with honey or cane sugar - less is better.
6. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes.
7. Strain the tea and drink it.
It may not sound great but this is actually a lovely tea and very helpful for inflammation.
For a modern twist on this you can follow this version:
1. Buy fresh turmeric and cut a piece that is about 1.5 inches long and peel it.
2. Mash the turmeric and put in a small pot.
3. Add about 2-3 cups of coconut milk that has been blended with MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides) in a blender for about 10-15 seconds.
4. Add about 1 tbs. of green or black tea.
5. Sweeten to your taste with honey or cane sugar - less is better.
6. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes.
7. Strain the tea and drink it.
The addition of MCT oil will make the mixture more frothy and creamy in texture. In addition it will add a stronger anti-inflammatory nature to the tea.
