Preparation
- Step 1
Add all ingredients to a blender pitcher, cover with the lid and a towel (the towel will stop any escaping steam from burning your hand), and blend on high until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

I put it all in the blender with water (not hot),us ed less cayenne, added black pepper (to aid the tumeric absorption), cinnamon and 2 Tbsp. coconut oil (optional). Simmer on the stove for about 10 min., let cool. Sieve it into a shaker bottle (makes it easier to mix when needed). I use a shot in steamed almond milk.
We added an equal amount of boiling water and honey (so, 1 1/2 of boiling water) to the honey and then added that to the blender. Worked perfectly. Very tasty.
The only thing we might change next time is strain it through cheesecloth, instead of a mesh strainer - it was still a bit gritty.
Personally, I would do just the honey, turmeric, and ginger, and also fennel seed. Grate the ginger and turmeric, pour boiling water over it, store overnight, strain and squeeze.
Cumin, paprika, cayenne, and coriander is a whole different combination of Indian-based spices.
You could combine them afterwards if you wish. Just a suggestion :)
Used Maple Syrup (heating honey == bad) Added some black pepper. Lovely Lovely Lovely base - very versatile and instant hit
Sounds delicious. Wonder if this can be frozen in useful cubes?
Replaced honey with sugar (vegan) and oh my golly. Mixes well with pineapple or mango juice with mineral water over ice, and a solid shot in peach tea is just so wonderful. Strained solids are good in a curry. Scrubbed roots hard, did not peel. I will keep making this to have it available in the fridge long past this summer.
