Let’s make Fire Honey!

What would you use Fire Honey for? It’s soothing for sore throats, it’s immune supporting, it’s warming to the body and it’s delicious!  Best of all it’s ready as soon as you mix it up!

You. may hear a lot of people say that you need black pepper to “activate the turmeric”. Technically that is not true – let’s explore why Black Pepper is important when you use Turmeric.

Turmeric’s active compound is curcumin. The problem with curumin is that it is not readily bio-available to the body. If you add piperine, it increases the bio-availablility of curcumin to the body. What is high in piperine?  Black pepper!  So by adding black pepper (freshly ground!) to any compound using turmeric – you will increase the bio-availability of the curcumin to the body!

So let’s make this!
