    What is golden milk or golden latte?

    1. Golden milk also known as turmeric milk is ancient to India.

    2. This golden bright yellow colored beverage have great health benefits. It’s anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties helps prevent your body from infections. That’s why you should be drinking this beverage all year long, not just when infection (cold, cough, sore throat) kicks in.

    3. Need to boost immunity or comfort yourself when you are feeling under the weather this turmeric golden milk or turmeric latte is all you need!

    4. Soothing warm spices used to make turmeric paste are black pepper, ginger and cinnamon. The warmth in the spices gives itchy/irritating throat soothing effect and helps you sleep better in the night when you are struggling with cold and cough.

    You really don’t need a recipe for this, because it’s simply a mix of turmeric powder, fresh grated ginger, pepper and cinnamon powder all milk into warm milk sweetened with honey.  But in case you want to know golden milk recipe, read the post (or simply click on “JUMP TO RECIPE” button on the top)

    In this recipe, I used turmeric paste. Turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root, can also be used. Make sure you use the best organic turmeric powder to make golden latte.

    Golden milk healthy benefits

    1. Turmeric golden milk made with turmeric paste is go-to remedy to fight cold, cough or flu. Turmeric has medicinal properties of decreasing mucus and supporting immune system. A glass of warm turmeric milk in the night will promote relief sleep.
    2. Research says people suffering from asthma, chronic sinus infections get relief with a glass of turmeric milk. It’s believed to reduce the changes of lung cancer.
    3. Curcumin (one of the main constituents of turmeric) is believed to prevent and treat cancer including prostate, breast, skin, liver, stomach, duodenum and colon cancer.
    4. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric can help reduce pain and fever. It’s also popular for it’s antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-carcinogenic properties and it’s used to treat conditions like bronchitis, laryngitis, diabetes and arthritis.
    5. While you can make golden milk is with just turmeric, to make even better I always add other healing medicinal spices. Black pepper helps our body absorb the curcumin in turmeric. Body cannot effectively utilize curcumin compound on it’s own, adding black pepper to turmeric paste increase the bio availability of curcumin in our body.
    6. Including turmeric in food helps. Use good quality organic turmeric to enhance the flavors of your meal thus enriching it. Widely used in curries and meat dishes.
    7. Make a jar of turmeric paste and store in fridge for up-to 3 months or freeze it for longer. Having a jar of golden turmeric paste in fridge only means, you can have plenty cups of golden turmeric milk or use it in curries whenever you want it.
