It is fall in Wisconsin. It seemed to turn cold almost overnight and has been raining almost non-stop all week. So it is a good time to be inside doing some cooking. I have homemade tomato sauce on the stove made with tomatoes from my garden. These two cozy treats help to add to the comfort and they are healthy! The tea can be put together quickly. The cookies are great when you just have to have some chocolate. I used a wider toasted coconut that I got on Amazon. You can use any shredded coconut.
Turmeric Tea
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup water
1 tablespoon ghee
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
Put all the ingredients in a saucepan. Stir and heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Pour into a heat proof mug and enjoy.
Super Foods: Coconut milk, Ghee, Turmeric powder
No-Bake Coconut Cookies
2 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
1 cup wide toasted coconut flakes ( can also use shredded coconut, toasted)
2/3 cup honey
1/2 coconut oil
1 cup almond butter
1 tablespoon chocolate extract
8 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Himalayan pink salt and coconut sugar to sprinkle on top
Line two baking sheets with waxed paper, aluminum foil or parchment. Put the oat s,coconu, cocoa and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Combine the honey, coconut oil and almond butter in a sauce pan. Heat slowly until the coconut oil is melted. Mix evenly and remove from the heat. Add the chocolate extract. Pour into the oat mixture and stir to mix. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto the cookie sheets. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a little salt and sugar,
Place the sheets in the freezer for 20 minutes. Take the sheets out of the freezer and remove the cookies. Store in a covered container in the freezer.
Makes 20 cookies.
