SERVES 1

Inflammation lies at the root of many chronic illnesses, and a majority of them start within the gut as an autoimmune reaction that develops into systemic inflammation. This tea is your drug-free weapon of prevention, laced with creamy cashew milk and perfumed with healing spices.

250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) cashew milk

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger

pinch of vanilla powder

pinch of freshly cracked black pepper

6 drops liquid stevia

Heat the cashew milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes or until just warmed. Add the spices, ginger, vanilla and pepper, then stir to remove any lumps.

Remove from the heat and pour through a fine sieve to remove the grated ginger. Add the stevia and enjoy warm.

SUPERCHARGED TIP

Piperine, a key ingredient in black pepper, enhances the bioavailability of turmeric.
