Turmeric lattes along with beetroot lattes are becoming more popular in London and are almost the norm now amongst cafes – I can totally see why too! If you haven’t heard of them before, they are sort of like a chai latte but way better if they are done right.
If you haven’t yet heard of the amazing benefits of turmeric, let me educate you. Turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years and is considered a medicinal herb. Turmeric has many health benefits including powerful anti-inflammatory effects, easing joint discomfort, curbing indigestion and heartburn, boosting immunity as well as protecting the heart and brain!
My golden milk recipe couldn’t be easier, most of you will also already have all the ingredients on hand in your pantry and if you don’t then the spices will probably cost the equivalent of 2 lattes to purchase from your local supermarket.
Turmeric lattes are the perfect caffeine free warming drink to get anyone through these cold winters days. My recipe will make a rather large batch of turmeric latte mix so you can have it on hand throughout the week!
Give this recipe a go next time you want a yummy, caffeine free alternative which will be sure to boost your immune system and leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
