Notes
Honey is optional. This paste is a great tonic for arthritis. Simply add warm water to one heaped teaspoon paste. I use it as a morning tonic. I combine 1 teaspoon paste to warm water, lemon juice, fresh ginger and apple cider vinegar and have first thing each morning The paste should last in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Simply use a fresh spoon each time. Alternatively, you can freeze a portion for later use. This paste can be used for Golden Turmeric Milk. Use one teaspoon to warm milk add honey to taste.
