Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup high-quality raw, unpasteurized honey
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric (curcumin source)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (gingerol source)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (cinnamaldehyde source)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (to enhance curcumin absorption)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Equipment – Ensure your glass mixing jar and silicone spatula are completely clean and bone-dry.
- Step 2: Mix Bioactives – In a small bowl, whisk together the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper until uniform.
- Step 3: Add Honey Base – Pour the raw honey into the glass jar, leaving two inches of headspace at the top.
- Step 4: Incorporate Spices – Gradually fold the spice mixture into the honey using a slow, folding motion to prevent air bubbles.
- Step 5: Blend Thoroughly – Stir the mixture for 3-5 minutes until the color is a consistent deep golden-brown.
- Step 6: Seal and Settle – Close the lid tightly and allow the blend to sit for 24 hours to let the compounds infuse.
- Step 7: Final Storage – Store the jar in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct heat to preserve enzyme activity.
Notes
To maintain the integrity of the raw honey enzymes, do not stir into boiling liquids; wait for tea or water to cool to 104°F/40°C.
