Self-Care: Fresh Ginger-Turmeric Tea

#SelfCare: Fresh Ginger-Turmeric Tea

I talked a little about self-care in my post-election cookie post, but I’d like to speak about this idea a bit more. It’s exhausting to have to constantly explain that you exist and why you deserve to be alive. (Including in supposedly liberal spaces–thanks, White (Cis) Feminism!) It wears you down, and it’s easy to get burnt out. Self-care is critical to be able to stand and fight another day,…

Processing Fresh Turmeric

I got some fresh turmeric from my local Indian supermarket. They boost the immune system, aids digestion, has anti-inflammatory properties - not to mention a great source of natural coloring for fiber dyeing or soap making.

Fresh roots release a softer, sweeter, and floral aroma. You can use fresh turmeric in juicing, teas, cooking for sure, but to turn it into powdered spice, it takes a little more processing.

The roots needs to be “cured” through boiling (~45min) which release a very deep, complex, strong, and earthy aroma. Cooking the root also turns it soft, making it easier to slice. I dried the slices in a bag AWAY from sunlight because it may bleach and degrade the root. When dried, simply use the spice grinder to turn it into powder or keep it as slices!

I realize now that store bought crap is so flat and tasteless. The quality of hand processed turmeric…unbelievable.

Turmeric Dressing

Every Sunday morning I head up to our local market to get our beautiful fresh organic produce, every week I try to buy something that scares me. This week it was fresh Turmeric, we have a good supply of the dried stuff but you really cant compare the two. It like comparing fresh and store bought powdered ginger, totally different flavors!

I decided to make a dressing for the hot pumpkin and sun dried tomato salad we ate that night for dinner.

It was amazing, fresh and zesty.

It goes really well on a salad sandwich, I'll post the bread recipe later.
