‘Golden latte’ is a divine drink. It is a mix of non dairy-milk (either coconut or almond milk) and different spices such as cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, even chai spices (nutmeg, clove, cardamom) and pepper. This golden drink is not only delicious, it’s also a very good ally to your health. The turmeric gives the drink its yellow color but most of all, associated with pepper, it’s one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients on the market.
You can easily find ground turmeric nowadays in organic stores. Ideally, try to find some fresh turmeric (the same sort of root look as ginger, only its core is deep orange) and to grate it in the drink. Same for fresh ginger. No need to buy an expensive juice machine. A good blender will do.
You can prepare a ‘classic’ version or add the chai spices for a stronger option.
No need to add a lot of sugar. The dates will provide some. Use honey or unrefined sugar such as agave syrup, rice or coconut sugar.
