About This Recipe
Turmeric Latte also referred to as “Golden Milk” or “Golden Sunshine” is a hot beverage where the milk is spiced with ground turmeric, cinnamon, and nutmeg. To make it a little sweet, I have added honey, but you can skip it too.
You can even add in some ground black pepper, for that little hint of spice in the Latte. This golden drink has many health benefits such as it improves immunity, supports the liver, helps treat cold and cough, supports digestion, purifies the blood and also helps in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
It is filled with the goodness of turmeric, that is considered a great Ayurvedic medicine for its anti inflammatory properties.
