How and why to make turmeric latte? Today, we’re actually going to be making a golden latte (turmeric latte, whatever you want to call it) and we are going to be exploring why turmeric has such an awesome reputation!

Golden Latte : a turmeric milk recipe | Today on the blog I'm sharing how to make turmeric milk, and WHY to make it !

Why Turmeric?

Historically, turmeric has been used to combat colds, inflammation, joint pain, and digestive issues (including gas and constipation). Studies say turmeric helps with the above-mentioned discomforts, and can also help with:

  • arthritis
  • headaches
  • bursitis
  • low back pain
  • cancer
  • and more

How?

Turmeric’s active component is curcumin, which has the power to lower histamine (adding to the anti-inflammatory goodness) and is a potent antioxidant superfood.

While I know it sounds too good to be true, studies have shown that curcumin can prevent the clumping of platelets (which is associated with atherosclerosis).

Studies have also shown that curcumin can help to prevent the spreading of cancers, as well as upping the effectiveness of cancer therapies.

*While turmeric is obviously awesome, note that this is in high doses, and in the form of tinctures, supplements, etc, and that these fun facts are not meant to replace actual therapy for any of the above mentioned maladies.

A Golden Latte for Longevity, Relaxation, and Me-Time :

Why To Make Turmeric Milk

Life can be a bitch, and we are not always superheroes. The holidays can be tough, stressful, and annoying. Sometimes we lose sight of those resolutions, intentions, and of happiness! It needs to turn around! We need to be reminded to take a moment…

What we can do as parents, siblings, friends, is encourage self-love. Most importantly, we can take time for ourselves to have a moment to slow down!  What we can do is make a golden latte, and know that even though our day might not have gone the way we wanted it to, that right now in this moment, we are finally relaxing and doing something good for ourselves: mind & body.

Remember that we don’t make lasting change in our lives in one day, month or year… And it is probably best not do try it all at once. My favorite way to positively incorporate change into my life is by addition, not by the removing of “bad habits”.

What I mean by that is that instead of putting yourself down for a vice, why not make a golden latte and take a bath? Incorporate positive change, and watch the bad habits naturally dissolve!

Do something that relaxes you — reading, watching a funny show with someone you love… It can literally be anything! By incorporating healthful & mindful bonuses into our day, slowly we incorporate more self-love, relaxation, longevity and me-time.

Turmeric Milk : Why & How To Make It

Healthy Turmeric Milk - A superfood for everyone
Course Indian, Vegan
Cuisine Healthy
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2
Author Idriss

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of non-dairy milk we have used soy and/or almond
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • pinch of pepper
  • pinch cinnamon or more (we like lots)
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Blend all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender
  • Strain (optional)
  • Warm up the turmeric milk either by frothing (steaming) or on the stove-top, on low-medium heat

Notes

Use organic ingredients when you can. For example, if the only organic ingredient you can afford on this list is the turmeric, get the organic turmeric and start there. Studies have shown that organic (compared to conventionally grown) turmeric is more potent and therefore more benefits with less turmeric powder. 
Do not forgo the pepper. You do not need a lot of pepper but it does need to be there. Fresh cracked is best too, since it's the piperine in the pepper that augments the bio-availability of turmeric and its health benefits.

    We LOVE turmeric in this house! We use grated turmeric in apple cider vinegar shots and I always feel refreshed afterwards. I will have to try it in my latte! Thanks for sharing

    Tumeric sounds like the latest matcha and hopefully it’s here to stay! I would never consider making tumeric into a lattee but for the benefits I think I’d try it!

      Absolutely, you will always make more adjustments to the recipe as you go (everyone has different tastebuds) but it’s really worth a try.
