Marissa's MediterraneanA sunshine-hued, creamy tonic blending the golden power of turmeric with a hint of black pepper and a silky olive oil finish.
In a small saucepan, combine the oat milk, grated turmeric, grated ginger, and maple syrup.
Wear gloves when grating fresh turmeric to avoid staining your fingers yellow!
Whisk the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it reach a rolling boil.
Heating gently preserves the delicate flavors of the fresh roots.
Remove from heat and stir in the extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. The pepper helps your body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric!
The olive oil creates a beautiful, silky mouthfeel.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into your favorite mug to remove the bits of ginger and turmeric.
Press down on the solids with a spoon to get every last drop of golden goodness.
Dust with a little ground cinnamon and enjoy while warm and frothy.
For the best flavor, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil—it adds a beautiful peppery finish that complements the earthy turmeric. If you don't have fresh turmeric, you can sub with 1/2 tsp ground, but the fresh root gives it that vibrant, glowy punch! This is a fantastic anti-inflammatory afternoon pick-me-up.
