About Turmeric Coffee
Turmeric Coffee (Curcumin Coffee) is a delicious coffee drink made by adding turmeric powder and a few other spices to your favorite coffee.
The turmeric mix has a nice spicy kick and comes together quickly. It gives the coffee a warm, earthy flavor that is great to sip.
Although you can drink turmeric coffee year-round, it is particularly good in winter or on rainy days.
This turmeric coffee powder can be added to any of your favorite coffees. Be it a Latte, Espresso, Cappuccino, or even a simple brewed coffee made using Instant coffee powder, it works great in all of them.
If you like the taste of turmeric-flavored coffee, try my Golden Paste when fresh turmeric is available. I am sure you will like it, too.
Ingredients

You will need ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground black pepper, ground ginger, and your favorite coffee.
Pepper enhances the taste of this drink and aids the body’s absorption of curcumin.
According to some studies, adding ½ teaspoon of coconut oil or ghee also enhances the body’s absorption of curcumin. You can try it, too.
You can add the turmeric coffee spice mix to any of your favorite coffees, such as brewed coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, or espressos.

Pro Tips By Neha
Drinking 1-2 cups of this coffee daily is best. You can drink it after breakfast or in the evening. Do not drink on an empty stomach; otherwise, it may cause acidity.
Add a teaspoon of ground clove and ground nutmeg to the mix to give it a gingerbread flavor.

This tastes wonderful in my hot morning coffee. I’ve had it for the past two weeks and I think it really does help to burn belly fat, I’ve noticed a change in my waist size ❤️
Great Lissette 🙂
One of the most informative websites. Recommended
Will this recipe also help with weight loss like so many coffee hacks are claiming to do so quickly?
I don’t think so. Turmeric aids weight loss but only in combination with proper diet and exercise. Nothing that is so quick is actually good or sustainable.
If combined what should you expect?
Most of the powder will get dissolved with very little granules floating on top of the coffee.
Can you put the powder with your coffe in a filter to brew?
Yes, you can.
How come the ingredients are floating around to the top of the cup of my hot brewed coffee, is this normal?
Hi Theresa, you must stir it vigorously. Most of the ingredients will dissolve.
does it have to be brewed coffee it can be cold coffee?
You can add the turmeric powder mix to any coffee you like.
I make sure I always have this blend available. It is SO good!!
I love Turmeric and this sounds like a perfect cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Love this mixture. I add clove, nutmeg, and cumin. After drinking this daily for a few weeks I have noticed my pain levels dropping and feeling more alert and energetic.
