Turmeric Latte - aka Golden Milk

Turmeric lattes are all the rage at the moment, but the best thing is that you don't have to go to a cafe to enjoy the experience.  You can make one at home with your homemade nut milk  I have experimented with a few recipes and also some premixes and I have to say that this one trumps them all.  This takes minutes to make for a relaxing and healing drink. 
Recipe is from The Wellness Mama

A little about Turmeric:
Research has shown that high doses close to 500 – 2000mg of curcumin can do the following:

1. Fight inflammation, which is known to contribute to chronic disease
2. Relieve pain, as it has been shown to improve symptoms of arthritis, PMS and more
3. As an antioxidant, it provides anti-aging affects, aids cellular repair and boosts immune function
4. Help prevent degenerative processes in the brain and improves overall brain health 
5. Improve heart health 

A teaspoon of ground turmeric contains approximately 45 milligrams of curcumin.  That’s far from the amount that is in a supplement, but a far more enjoyable way of adding a little bit of anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, regenerative and restorative goodness into your day!
