# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Making a batch ahead means you actually stick to healthy habits instead of forgetting them
  • The combination cuts through morning fog better than coffee ever could
02 -
  • Fresh turmeric stains everything permanently. Counter tops, cutting boards, your favorite dishtowel. Protect your surfaces.
  • The mixture thickens slightly when frozen. Two cubes dissolved in about 8 ounces of water is the sweet spot.
03 -
  • Double the recipe and freeze half. You will thank yourself later when you are too tired to prep anything.
  • The black pepper might seem strange, but it is what makes the turmeric bioavailable. Do not skip it.
