Bulletproof Golden Anti-inflammatory tea

Bulletproof Anti-inflammatory tea

This recipe came about from the last cold that went around the house couple weeks ago. I started having a pot of ginger tea on hand at all times.  Eventually I brewed herbal teas ( this is my favorite one to use but you can use any tea of your choice ) with the ginger tea and have that concoction on hand. My children have accustomed to a cup of tea morning and night now. Then I took the brewed ginger herbal tea and played around with it to create my version of the bulletproof "coffee".

Bulletproof Golden Anti-inflammatory Tea

Serves 1  Prep time 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1" thinly sliced ginger root
• 1 c water
• 1 tsp grass fed gelatin
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup ( optional ) 
• 1 tsp organic turmeric powder or 1/2 " fresh turmeric root ( see quick method if using fresh turmeric and omit turmeric powder)
• 1/4 c. coconut cream
• 1 tbsp coconut oil or 1/2 tbsp coconut oil and 1/2 tbsp grass fed butter
• optional a sprinkle of black pepper

I omitted black pepper in mine because it makes me gassy. If you are fine with black pepper, you can add a dash as it is suppose to increase absorption of turmeric many folds.

1. Put ginger slice and or fresh turmeric root in blender with cold water
2. Blend until roots are broken down into small bits
