Robyn's notes
The versatility of Big Heart Tea's Sunshine Dust makes it one of my favorite kitchen staples. It's a time-saving spice shortcut in Indian or Thai dishes (add some to your rice water!), and it's a comforting coffee-alternative whisked into some hot oat milk & honey, but I really love it in a smoothie with pineapple, peach or mango: a refreshing cold drink with a warm ginger burn.
Turmeric benefits
Turmeric's one of the few herbs extensively studied by both Ayurveda and “Western” allopathic medicine. This bright orange-gold root's health benefits range from being anti-inflammatory, aiding digestion, boosting immunity with its antioxidants, and more. Combined with peppercorn’s active ingredient piperine, turmeric’s curcumin can do wonders for the body. Plus it's a bright, earthy, warm flavor that deepens your sweet or savory recipes.
