Notes
Our bodies are unable to absorb curcumin but bodies are unable to absorb (into our black pepper, piperine, is known to help us absorb the curcumin when they interact with each other.
2- I do not recommend boiling it. Just bring it to a gentle simmer and drink, cooking turmeric for long durations may lead to a loss activity of curcumin compounds of turmeric.
3- You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat for 1 additional day.
