The Third Moon Turmeric, Ginger, and Black Pepper Mix is a skillfully balanced blend of three fine spices, already measured in the traditional proportion that has been used for centuries to prepare the famous natural remedy known as the "honey and turmeric bomb."
This powdered combination brings together golden turmeric from India, aromatic ginger from Sri Lanka, and intense black pepper, three ingredients that are always used together in Eastern traditions to maximize their effects. This is not a random pairing: the presence of piperine, a natural substance found in black pepper, is essential because it significantly increases the bioavailability of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. Without black pepper, our body would struggle to absorb curcumin, negating much of its potential.
Our mix eliminates the need to purchase three separate spices and worry about the correct doses: everything is already prepared, balanced, and optimized according to the traditional recipe. Just add honey or dissolve it in hot water to obtain a herbal tea or a mixture with unique characteristics.
The combination of turmeric, black pepper, and ginger has always been used in Eastern traditions, especially during the colder months of the year. This mix is traditionally prepared as a herbal tea or a mixture with honey and is consumed particularly when there is a need for a warm and comforting drink that warms from the inside.
People choose to prepare the turmeric, ginger, and black pepper herbal tea especially during autumn and winter when the weather becomes harsher, and the body needs more warmth and comfort. This beverage is commonly consumed as a warm treat in case of colds, coughs, sore throats, or respiratory congestion.
The "bomb" with honey and spices has become particularly popular for its practicality: it is prepared once and stored, ready to be used when needed. A teaspoon dissolved in hot water becomes an instant herbal tea, perfect for warming up on colder days or finding relief when feeling congested.
Preparing the ginger, turmeric, and black pepper herbal tea with our mix is extremely simple and quick. Thanks to the fact that the spices are already measured in the correct proportion, you won't have to worry about weighing each ingredient or figuring out the right ratio between turmeric, ginger, and black pepper.
This is the classic recipe that made this natural remedy famous. The resulting mixture is dense, with an intense golden color, and can be stored in a jar for use as needed.
Take the honey and, if it is too thick or crystallized, soften it slightly. You can do this by warming it for a few seconds in the microwave or placing the jar in a water bath, being careful not to overheat it to avoid altering its properties.
Once the honey is soft and workable, incorporate the Turmeric, Ginger, and Black Pepper Mix by stirring vigorously with a spoon until you obtain a perfectly homogeneous mixture, without lumps.
The result will be a richly golden paste with an intense and spicy aroma.
Store the mixture in a well-sealed glass jar at room temperature, away from direct light sources.
It is recommended to take a teaspoon of the "bomb," letting it slowly dissolve in your mouth or dissolving it in a cup of hot water. In the morning, you can take a teaspoon as a daily ritual during winter to start the day with a burst of warmth. In the evening, before sleeping, a teaspoon dissolved in hot water becomes a comforting tea that helps you relax.
If you prefer to prepare the tea on the spot, without using the honey mixture, it’s very simple:
You can drink it as is, or strain it if you prefer a tea without powder residue at the bottom. Sweeten with honey or add a few drops of fresh lemon juice if desired.
This version is perfect when you have little time but still want to enjoy a warm and aromatic tea.
One of the advantages of having the mix ready is that you can experiment with endless variations by adding complementary ingredients according to your personal taste.
The turmeric, ginger, and black pepper mix is not only useful for preparing teas and natural remedies: it is also a great spice to use in cooking to enrich your daily dishes with an exotic and aromatic touch.
You can add it to soups and vegetable creams to give depth of flavor and that characteristic golden color. It is also perfect for seasoning basmati rice or preparing curries and dishes from Indian and Asian cuisine. Try adding it to marinades for grilled vegetables, or mix it with extra virgin olive oil to dress salads or hummus.
A pinch of mix can also be used in smoothies and shakes, especially those based on tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, or in fruit and vegetable extracts to enrich them with the spicy notes of turmeric and ginger.
The versatility of this mix makes it a unique product: a single jar that can be used both for daily wellness and for creativity in the kitchen.
Have you ever wondered why ginger, turmeric, and black pepper are always paired, especially in traditional tea and infusion recipes? It's not just a matter of taste, but a scientific synergy that maximizes the effectiveness of these ingredients.
Turmeric contains curcumin, a highly studied and appreciated substance, but there is a problem: curcumin alone is poorly bioavailable, meaning our body struggles to absorb and use it. This is where black pepper comes into play: it contains piperine, a natural compound that increases the bioavailability of curcumin up to 20 times. In practice, black pepper allows our body to better assimilate curcumin, making the intake of turmeric much more effective.
Ginger completes this trio by bringing its characteristic gingerols and its spicy and aromatic flavor, which balances the earthy taste of turmeric and the pungent note of black pepper. Additionally, ginger and piperine together create a synergy that further enhances the overall absorption of active substances.
This is why separating these three ingredients doesn't make sense: together they work better, enhance each other, and create a balance of flavors that makes the tea pleasant to drink. Our mix respects these traditional proportions, tested by centuries of use in oriental medicine.
There are many products on the market based on turmeric, ginger, and black pepper: capsules, supplements, tablets, single-dose sachets. What is the difference compared to our loose powder spice mix?
The main difference is in the naturalness and versatility. Our mix is composed exclusively of ground spices, without the addition of excipients, fillers, gelatin, or other substances used to create capsules and tablets. When you buy the powder mix, you know exactly what you are buying: turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Nothing else.
Moreover, the loose format allows you to freely decide how much to use based on your needs. Want to prepare a light tea? Use half a teaspoon. Prefer a more intense flavor? Increase the dose. With capsules or single-dose sachets, this freedom does not exist: the dose is predefined and cannot be adjusted to your tastes or needs.
The powder mix is also much more versatile: you can use it both to prepare teas and for cooking, which is impossible with capsules or tablets. And if you want to prepare the classic "bomb" with honey, having the spices in powder form is the only way to create that dense and ready-to-use mixture that you can store in a jar.
To keep the organoleptic and aromatic characteristics of the turmeric, ginger, and black pepper mix intact, it is important to store it correctly.
Always keep the package tightly closed after each use, to prevent moisture from entering. Store the jar in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources like stoves or radiators, and especially away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the active ingredients of the spices.
If you prepare the "bomb" with honey, store it in a well-sealed glass jar, always at room temperature. Honey is a natural preservative, so the mixture will keep perfectly for weeks, and it will even improve over time as the aromas of the spices blend even better.
Even though it is a natural product based on food spices, it is important to be aware of some contraindications, particularly related to turmeric.
Turmeric is not recommended for those suffering from biliary tract problems, such as gallstones, biliary tract obstructions, or liver diseases. In these cases, the intake of turmeric can worsen the situation and should be avoided.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you are taking specific medications (particularly anticoagulants), it is always advisable to consult your doctor before regularly consuming teas or compounds based on turmeric and ginger.
