Turmeric Latte
Turmeric Latte
A turmeric latte is nothing but steamed milk mixed with turmeric, sometimes ground ginger and ground cinnamon with honey or sugar added for sweetness. The drink is nothing new for South Asian households who have been drinking “haldi doodh,” or “turmeric milk,” for centuries to treat colds and sore throats. The traditional version of the drink only consits of turmeric, milk and honey. But to make it more spicy and closer to the coffee shop version, add in a small piece of ginger and a dash of cinnamon. It’s sweet, earthy and deliciously calming and you don’t need to drop $5 on it.
