You can even skip the stovetop completely and heat up your choice of milk in the microwave before whisking in the turmeric paste. I recommend making a fresh batch of turmeric paste every week or so, but opinions differ and some people save it for a few weeks at a time.

    Hi - can this be made with another neutral oil, or is coconut oil a must? thanks

      Hi Janet - The use of coconut oil helps to increase the absorption of turmeric, so I would recommend using it. It also adds a little to the flavor of the drink. Enjoy!
