Turmeric Latte, the ideal antioxidant drink for a post-holiday brunch
First came chai, then matcha tea, and later the turmeric latte. These drinks, generally oriental and ancient, are popular in the cafes of Brooklyn and Notting Hill, and, of course, have also reached Barcelona. Its composition is so precious that it's called "golden milk," and it's ideal for these days between winter holidays when we're trying to recover from the typical gastronomic excesses.
That's why we suggest a detox brunch with rye bread toast, lots of avocado, ground sesame seeds, herb salt, arugula, and this wonderful drink that we'll teach you how to prepare shortly.
What is the origin of this delicacy?
But first, let's tell you about its origins so that when you taste it, you'll know where this delicacy comes from. Turmeric is a spice typical of South Asia and is used in numerous Indian dishes. It's also part of Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient health philosophy based on prevention and natural remedies.
Your health will thank you for it.
Experts claim that turmeric has high antioxidant properties, which support heart and immune system function, and is particularly good during the winter season as a preventative against the typical flu. But the benefits of this drink don't end there:
- Turmeric has been used for centuries to combat acne and brighten skin.
- It's also anti-inflammatory, so it will help with your digestion after the overexertion of these winter days.
With these premises, it's no wonder that all of Instagram has been filled with this golden drink that doesn't require any filters and is perfect with a touch of cinnamon on top.
How to prepare it at home
You can buy a turmeric latte ready-made or easily make it at home if you have some in your pantry. You'll also need any type of milk or plant-based beverage you like, cinnamon, honey, or agave syrup, and you can experiment with vanilla powder, a little ginger, or even a teaspoon of pure cocoa.
To prepare it, you'll need to heat the milk in a saucepan and add the ingredients little by little while stirring with a whisk. You can keep tasting until you find the perfect flavor, and it's ready to enjoy at your brunch.
