This ayurvedic beverage is touted for its healing, anti-inflammatory properties thanks to curcumin found in turmeric.
Turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Coconut oil makes the turmeric more available for our bodies to absorb because it is fat-soluble.
Black pepper also helps the absorption of curcumin by our body.

1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp coconut oil
