Golden Turmeric Latte

October 22, 2019 By Marijana Miljkovic Leave a Comment

Turmeric Latte

Lately, turmeric has been all over the place and I would like to keep it up and introduce you to one of my favorite recipes for this fabulous root. It’s a great coffee or tea alternative, easy to prepare and it offers a whole variety of health benefits. Furthermore, it’s creamy, smoothie and deliciously spicy.

Since ancient times, turmeric has been used to cure a wide variety of diseases and health problems. As a part of the ginger family, it is highly anti-inflammatory thanks to its main component curcumin. An essential health benefit of turmeric is its antibiotic property, since it is able to inhibit the growth of certain fungi and bacteria. Last but not least, this long-standing staple spice often used in Indian and Asian recipes can be used as a detox herb. It helps increase bile flow and is thus considered a great liver cleanser, which is instrumental in detoxifying.

As a medicine, turmeric is used in preventing and treating diverse illnesses, including brain and heart diseases, cancer, Alzheimer, arthritis and depression.

Oftentimes we tend to use only “a pinch of” or “a touch of” strong spices such as turmeric in fear of changing a recipe or creating too intense of a taste in meals. Most dishes will tolerate a much higher amount though, turning your meals into delicious spice explosions and making them taste really good. In India and Southeast Asia for example, people use much greater amounts of all kinds of spices in their meals and who doesn’t love either Indian curry or a Pad Thai? Therefore, I encourage you to not be shy when using healthy spices such as turmeric or ginger in your kitchen.

So, without further ado, let’s get on to the Golden Turmeric Latte recipe.

The spices:

  • 100 g ground turmeric
  • 35 g ground ginger
  • 20 g ground cinnamon
  • 10 g black pepper
  • 10 g ground cardamom
  • 10 g ground cloves
  • 10 g ground coriander
  • 5 g ground nutmeg

Adding black pepper to the spice mix is really important, as it enables your body to absorb the turmeric much better.

Usually I tend to prepare a whole jar of this spice mix in advance, which makes it easy to whip up a golden latte every other day.

Combine all the spices in a bowl and transfer to a glass jar, where the mix will last up to six months.

For one latte use:

  • 1 teaspoon of the spice mix
  • 250 ml or 1 cup of milk of your choice (I use oat milk, but any other type either plant-based or not is good)
  • 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup
  • optional: 1 teaspoon of coconut oil

Place the milk in a pot and cook it on medium heat. Add the spices, the honey or maple syrup and the coconut oil if you wish and enjoy this creamy and frothy Golden Turmeric Latte.

🧡 The healing properties of turmeric never fail 🧡 The healing properties of turmeric never fail to astound me. The herbaceous bright orange plant from the ginger family is highly anti-inflammatory and helps in preventing dementia, chronic pain syndromes and bowel cancer. Consider using it daily, fresh or grounded, in your meals, drinks or as a supplement, though it is recommended to consume the whole plant. As @doctors_kitchen teaches us:

"A single component [in this case: curcumin] is not likely to be responsible for their health benefits; it's the complex arrangement of molecules in whole ingredients that we find in nature."

Ingredients for turmeric latte 🧡

🔸Ground turmeric
🔸Ground ginger
🔸Ground cinnamon
🔸Ground nutmeg
🔸Ground cardamom
🔸Ground black pepper (to better absorb the curcumin)
🔸A milk of your choice (I use oat milk)
🔸Some honey or maple syrup

Merry Christmas ✨ It's a very special and extrao Merry Christmas ✨ It's a very special and extraordinary Christmas this year, where our wishes to stay safe and healthy suddenly get a completely new meaning ✨ Among all the sorrow, fear and insecurity of 2020, let's focus on the good things that happened this year. What were they for you? Having spent more time with your loved ones? New career perspectives that opened up? A new home (as in my case)? A newborn? A wedding? Having enjoyed the summer when things seemed easy for a while? Having taken care of yourself?✨
If we really think about it, we will find many things to be grateful for in 2020 ✨
Enjoy the holidays and take some time off of worrying ✨

Some of my highlights of this crazy year in terms Some of my highlights of this crazy year in terms of flying... Empty airports, empty aprons, empty airplanes, empty employee parking lots (which you usually have to wait 20 minutes for at rush hour) and all of us wearing masks...
For us in aviation it is heart-breaking to see our dream hitting rock-bottom and suffering so badly in this pandemic.
But we will spread our wings and come back and bring people together, with a smile on our lips and in our hearts, just as we used to do ❤️✈️
