Some of the spices in the blend may sink to the bottom of the pan, as the natural ingredients do not dissolve in water; however, you may drink all of the ingredients! They're just spices.
Make sure to exercise care when using turmeric, as the strong yellow color has the ability to die everything a nice shade of orange!
