# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get 24 servings from one simple blend, making wellness feel effortless instead of another chore.
  • The flavor hits differently when it slowly dissolves in warm water, becoming this surprisingly comforting ritual.
  • No cooking required means you can make these while your coffee brews.
02 -
  • That black pepper isn't there for flavor, it's there because turmeric's benefits need black pepper to work properly in your body, so don't skip it.
  • Straining makes all the difference between cubes that look appealing and ones that look like frozen pulp, so take the extra two minutes and your future self will thank you.
03 -
  • Store your frozen cubes in a labeled freezer bag so you actually use them instead of forgetting they exist in the back corner.
  • Make a double batch during farmers market season when fresh turmeric appears, because two months of having these on hand changes how you approach winter mornings.
