I used to pack gelcaps with powdered Turmeric, but have since moved onto a faster process that is used by my whole family. I take this morning and evening, and also feed this to my dogs if you're looking for a good home brew dog supp.
1/2 cup turmeric powder.
1-1/2 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper.
1/4 cup cold press coconut oil
Allow it to cool then transfer to a jar. Refrigerate and enjoy, should keep for 2 weeks. I eat a teapoon worth twice daily, and give the dogs about a quarter teaspoon with their meals. Taste takes some getting used to, and learning how to get it down if it's too dry can be a trick, but overall I find it worth it.
A few tips:
1/2 cup turmeric powder.
1-1/2 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper.
1/4 cup cold press coconut oil
- Mix the turmeric with water in a pot.
- Stir the liquid on med/low heat for about 10 min until it forms a paste. Judge the thickness to your preference, I find thicker pastes hard to swallow.
- Once the paste forms add your pepper and stir it in.
- Once pepper is stirred in add your coconut oil, stir it in very well until the oil is no longer sitting on top of the paste.

A few tips:
- Anything that touches the turmeric should be stainless or glass, unless you don't mind whatever you're using getting stained orange.
- When you add the oil the mixture may splatter a bit. Hurts like a motherfucker and stains your stove if it's ceramic / plastic so have a pot lid handy.
