Adjust spices to taste. Have as much as you can enjoy to reap the benefits!

The coconut oil is to help your body absorb the tumeric. You could use a pinch of black pepper instead, but personally I don't like the taste.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    This is AMAZING! Soooo delicious and healthy. I can feel it down into my chest.

    I added one clove of garlic, and maybe 1/2 teaspoon of cloves. I didn't add coconut oil. I didn't use the simmering basket, just strained through a sieve into a jug. I added honey to the cup. Thank you!

    Tastes great & got rid of my sore throat! I kept the strained pulp - any ideas of what I could use that for?
