Turmeric Latte is a tasty and fragrant beverage that has many health benefits due to its main ingredient- Turmeric. Turmeric contains a yellow-colored chemical called curcumin, commonly used for conditions involving pain and inflammation.
This recipe further enhances the health value of Turmeric by combining it with Ginger, Cloves, Cardamoms, Nutmeg, Star anise, Saffron, Honey and Cinnamon. Each of these ingredients are known for immense health benefits. Together with Turmeric, these ingredients create a beverage that is golden yellow in color, sweet and flavorful.
I have used fresh turmeric and ginger roots – which bring out an earthy and rich aroma to this drink.I have used regular whole milk, but we can substitute with any milk alternative like coconut, almond, Oat or cashew milks. I drink Turmeric latte in the morning or at night, because it is soothing for the body and mind.
PLEASE NOTE : We don't need to use all the spices in case you prefer a more basic version of this latte. We can still get a aromatic and healthy turmeric latte with just Turmeric powder or grated root, milk, honey and choice of your spices.I hope you will find this recipe helpful and tasty.
