Mix turmeric & filtered water in a pan
Start with 1 cup of water and add more if needed
Stir the liquid combination on low/medium heat until it forms a thick paste (approximately 7–10 minutes)
If the paste is watery, simply add more turmeric powder
Next, add the pepper and coconut oil to the paste and stir in very well
Allow the paste to cool. The mixture can be put in a jar (one with a lid), and should be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
