Turmeric tea (also known as golden milk) to start the day today 🤗 The health benefits are beyond amazing.. turmeric is anti-inflammatory, full of antioxidants, helps to purify the blood, heals sore throats, congestion, body aches and even tooth ache! Research it, there’s loads more benefits you need to know about. The recipe is a simple and tasty concoction to boost the immune system, something I think we all need at this time of year! I boiled a cup of milk with a teaspoon of turmeric powder (start with less if you’ve never tried this before as it can be an acquired taste), add a pinch of black pepper (this is a MUST to absorb all those turmeric nutrients) and finish with some honey to taste. Yummy 😋 °

*TURMERIC LATTE*

Golden milk (also known as turmeric latte) is a wonderfully healing remedy traditionally taken in India and Pakistan to soothe aches and pains, boost health and vitality and repair the body from injury and trauma. Full of the superfood turmeric, it’s my favourite natural tonic when I’m feeling under the weather and I swear by it for recovering from surgery and to generally heal the body when I’m not feeling my best. I’ve seen it’s effects first hand and it’s amazing! Lately I’ve been sprucing up this latte with some ground cardamom and fennel seeds, both of which are delicious and add another dimension to this little magic elixir. Feel free to experiment with your favourite flavours and make it your own! Check out my recipe below and in my highlights. Enjoy 🤗

1 mug of semi skimmed or full fat milk

Honey or sugar taste
