How to Make and Enjoy My Gold Coffee

 * Disclaimer* 

I am not referring to Golden Coffee, an actual form of brew of coffee that is lighter and less acidic than standard black coffee. This is highly recommended for people who suffer from GERD or  IBS. Also, I should include in this disclaimer if you suffer from GERD or another IBS I would not recommend you make this. You could alter the ingredients as ginger can be an irritant. 



Ahhh, that is better. Ok troops! I am always posting about my beautiful "golden coffee" on IG. ( If you are following me, you know I am always posting on there and not on here. So, I am still going to make an attempt to do my best. No promises though!) So, here is the "tee" on my coffee.

The Ingredients

Coffee- coffea arabica, This ingredient is widely cultivated and used especially in industrious first-world countries like where I am located in the United States. I am referring to the standard coffee as there are now variants. While pregnant with both my little ones, I enjoyed chicory coffee, which has amazing health benefits! There is also mushroom coffee which I highly recommend for my vegan community as the longer you are vegan, the less your "stores" of vital nutrients are present to create selected cells that will help fight colds.

Ginger- If you have followed me long enough, you know my deep love and passion for ginger. Ginger is anti-inflammatory, assists with nausea, helps in bringing down a fever, helps with osteoarthritis, and so much more! Not to mention I love the hot, sweet flavor which helps me stay away from dumping a pound of sugar in my morning coffee.

Turmeric- More and more people are getting into turmeric and I am loving it! I went to college and got turned on to Indian cuisine which uses a great amount of this herbal root. This is highly anti-inflammatory as it is one of the bigger fighters that block the COX-2 pathway which is the pathway for inflammation and pain. When used with ginger, this is a perfect duo for chronic pain ailments such as fibromyalgia and arthritis.

Cinnamon- If you haven't heard by now- you will right now. I also love cinnamon due to its sweet nature in some cases. Cinnamon, even in smaller portions, has been scientifically proven to drop blood sugar levels so I always recommend cinnamon to my diabetic patients and insulin-sensitive patients. This also helps with gut health, reduces blood pressure, and an anti-fungal.

Nutmeg- I like nutmeg for the flavor but it can also boost immunity and help with blood sugar and decrease high blood pressure. 

Oats- I have recently begun using oat milk and oat coffee creamer. I should not have started. I love oats!! Oats are great for people who suffer from anxiety as it is in a group of botanicals called nervines. The oat milk is gentle on the stomach and boosts protein which is great for us vegans.


How to make it

1. Brew your coffee- However you normally brew it. ( Hot water and a french press, K cup, standard coffee maker, however)

2. While the coffee is brewing, get those yummy ingredients together. I use standard spices from the store with the exception of ginger but you can grab the standard spices and your cheese grater or grinder and grind your own if you have the time.

3. In your cup, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg

4. Grab a cheese grater and a piece of ginger and shred. I store my ginger in the freezer. It makes shredding it so much easier.

5. Add your oat milk or oat creamer- I add more oat milk (about 1/2 cup to a cup because I like mine creamy) Also, it is creamier than almond milk or coconut milk so adding as much as what you would have added with the other two will make it lighter.

6. Grab your hand blender or little wish and stir well.

7. Add your coffee, sweetener of choice, and enjoy!


Here are a few standard links to checking out the benefits of this coffee. If you are not vegan and would like to add creamer- I do not recommend that as you are getting some serious health benefits. If you don't trust society, make your own plant-based milk. Also, if you want the best health benefits, add xylitol, stevia, or monk fruit as your sweetener. Some vegans add maple syrup as there are some benefits but not as great as the other three.

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
