A quick look at Turmeric's Highlights:

Anti-oxidant
Anti-Arthritic

"In Ayurvedic medicine, it is a well-documented treatment for various respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma, bronchial hyperactivity, and allergy), as well as for liver disorders, anorexia, rheumatism, diabetic wounds, runny nose, cough, and sinusitis"

Aromatic Turmeric Latte with Coconut Milk

The ingredients in this tasty warming 'latte' are anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, antioxidant and digestive system supportive.
This recipe makes enough for a 1 cup portion. Just double it or expand the recipe to suit your needs.

It's a GOOD THING!!!

It has a warm, peppery, slightly bitter flavour and a mild fragrance which reminds me of a gingery orange mix. It's harsh when eaten raw so always add it to your cooking or make sure it's slightly heated to enjoy its delicate taste.

Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut milk or oat, almond or your favourite

1. Combine all ingredients (except honey if using) in a medium sized pot and, warm up slowly, stirring often.

2. Allow to come to a simmer.

3. Pour into a mug + top with a little more grated nutmeg or a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like!

4. Froth it up a little with a fork or if you have a little frothy gizmo!

Recipe Notes

I like pour coconut milk into a small bowl + mix well as often the milk/cream often separate in the can.
Do heat the mixture slowly so that the coconut milk doesn't thicken up too much.

Make the basic recipe or use these optional add-ons, above.
Any of these are delicious. Experiment or pick your own options.
