1/2 cup turmeric powder (125 mls)
2 cups water (500 mls)
1/2 cup water extra, if needed (125 mls)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper (7.5 mls)…
70 ml cold pressed Coconut oil
Place turmeric and water in pan, stirring over gentle heat until you have a thick paste. This should take about 7 – 10 minutes and you may need to add additional water along the way (it seems to depend on the turmeric you have).
Add the pepper and oil at the end of cooking. Stir vigorously to incorporate the oil and allow to cool. Store in sterilized glass jar and refrigerate.
Should keep for up to four weeks, refrigerated – best used within two.
If your mix is looking too watery, add a little more turmeric and continue cooking a few more minutes. Don’t worry too much that it does not look ‘perfect’ – as long as it is cooked and has the oil and pepper, it will work. If the oil marbles in the jar, it just means it was not stirred enough at the end or the mix is a bit watery, but it will not affect the performance.
