Tumeric Latte

Are you aware of the benefits of turmeric tea? Last Christmas I had a bad bout of inflamed tonsillitis. I could not speak or utter a word out of my mouth or swallow food without feeling pain at the base of throat. My big sister took one look at me and told me she knew just the remedy for me. In the evening she prepared this wonderful milk tea that taste so nice infused with lots of spice and soy milk. I woke up the next morning instantly healed of inflamed tonsillitis. So I asked her what was the remedy and she told me it was turmeric latte or milk tea. This weekend just for the heath benefits and because turmeric is in stock at Boroko Market and RH I bought a couple and decided to make the tea myself.
My recipe is;
1 cup soy milk
3 cups water pour into small pot.
Grate 1 turmeric root
Grate 1 ginger root optional
1 Teaspoon of black paper
1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
1 Vanilla pod crushed optional
I prefer raw ingredients but some people like to use process powder bought from the store. Bring to boil the strain and served warm this will make 4 cups.
I bought all of mine from the local market. Turmeric is so full of antioxidants to fight against diseases and so many other benefits.
Hints Ensure you use soy milk or any nut milk and not cows milk and ensure you always add black pepper which helps to bring out the antioxidant properties in turmeric.

My Mother's Story (Mercia Paliou)

On this International Woman's Day, I wanted to share my mum's story on her journey and her aspirations in life. To also give us a glimpse into what life was like back then and what they did to build the young PNG nation. I would not be where I am today if she did not first embark on her own journey of education, career marriage and life.   My mother's journey began in her village of Dogur in the Dagua LLG of the East Sepik Province. She was born on the 6th of September 1947. She already had 5 older siblings and she was the 5th born with 2 others after her. Born to parents who were subsistence farmers their lives revolve around fishing, gardening, hunting and gathering food to feed the family. A typical village day would consist of women going to the garden, to work on their vegetables patches whilst the man would go hunting/setting traps for bandicoot or fishing in the small creeks, rivers or the sea. Their stable diet is sago so each family has their own sago plots in th...

Toana Dei & Meri Blouse

On April 28 1978, the government declared that Friday should be set aside as a national dress day.  Citizens were encourage to wear their cultural wear to work or school. The day was referred to as Toana day. The thinking behind that day was to encourage cultural embracement and initiate a national wear which in time will take on its style and become the national wear for contemporary PNG.  Toana is from the motuan language 3rd widely spoken language in PNG and it means a symbol or a sign. A fitting word to signify the day. I am taking up this space again to feature one piece of unique clothing that has come to make its mark in PNG known as the Meri Blouse.Little did they envisage what the meri blouse would become to PNG woman.And meri blouse was introduce by Missionaries to help cover bare breast woman in the colonial days. Highly criticise as shapeless and without form created to hide the beautiful curvy body of Melanesian woman meri blouse has stood its time and held it's ...

Memoirs of an Entrepreneur (Pricing)

  Pricing is something that most of us take for granted. Am not sure if you really think about price apart from when there is a price increase. Have you ever wondered how people price goods and services and what should be the correct way of pricing your items. If you price too high you will loose customers and if you price too low then you will not make a profit so there is a place where you need to come too rightly to price items. As a christian there is also God's pespective on pricing. The book of levitcus is where God instructed the Isrealites on how to price items 26: 14  And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:  God is very clear he does not want us to oppress another brother by putting our price too high that they struggle to buy our item and if they do they forgo other necessecities that they need in life. When you are pricing your good or service what is the first thing that comes to min...
