With all of this in mind, here is a delicious, anti-inflammatory turmeric drink.

You will need:

• 1/4 tsp black pepper (this will enhance the absorption of turmeric)
• 2.5cm piece of sliced ginger
• honey (to sweeten, add as much as you desire)

What you need to do:

1. Add all ingredients (except the honey) to a saucepan and whisk to combine
2. Warm over a medium heat until the mix begins to bubble
3. Turn to a low heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavours.
4. Pour ingredients into a jug (using a strainer to remove the sliced ginger)
5. Add honey (if you need it) and stir.

This will make two serves so you can share the other half, or keep it for later! It is ideally consumed warm but there is nothing stopping you from cooling it down for a hot summer day.
