That would be the first recommendation and the second would be to find a glass bottle or jar. The potency will decrease over time so the fresher the better.

I only want to drink around a cup a day and I don't want to be boiling so often since I only have limited access to a stove.

I wonder how much of the goodness of Turmeric dies in the boiling process? Is Turmeric a root? How do you buy this whole, and where in California? Take care!

I wonder how much of the goodness of Turmeric dies in the boiling process?

Is Turmeric a root?
How do you buy this whole, and where in California?

Take care!

Turmeric seems to be a cure-all! thanks for sharing this. i am a tea lover and am definitely going to try out this tea! hugs!! according to your # 3 – my grandfather has Alzheimer’s :( while i don’t remember all of the details, my mother told me that a doctor did some research on my grandfather’s family and said that anyone in this bloodline should up their intake of turmeric so as decrease the chances of us getting Alzheimer’s.

It was just what i was hoping for. the cinnamon gives it a nice sweet spice, and the nutmeg a nice subtle floral hint, lovely way to have a decadent-feeling tea without the annoying caffeine jitters or chamomile tummy jumbles (chamomile and I do not get along). Now i may just have to try some of the other suggestions and recipes. Thanks for the great blog. I was diagnosed with UC..ummm...nearly 12 years ago. Docs said diet wouldn't matter. finally got sick of all the drugs (HATED Imuran, and couldn't remember to take the mesalamine). Discovered if i don't eat eggs or milk products, my gut is happy. also significantly reduced availability of processed foods; so vegan it is. and my gut has been behaving like a gut and not a foreign object. rather nice, really. *i will however say that the hospital visit 8 years ago was a wake-up call and i appreciate the fact they could get me back on track. yes, surgery was mentioned, and numerous drugs tried. The infliximab did its job though and i got to go home. I prefer the method of changing lifestyle so that meds are not necessary rather than abusing the body and trying to fix it with meds. besides, there are so many yummy recipes and exercise is rewarding, and when your gut says your killing yourself, perhaps it's time to listen and look at your life. I suppose i'm a bit dense and needed a bit more aggressive prodding than some :) I’ve been meaning to try this since you posted it and this morning thought i’d see about making a dent in the turmeric supply (we seem to accumulate it by not just small jars-full).

What a great stress reliever last night! I love the chai flavors and such a great way to use tumeric.
