Turmeric Latte

Warm yourself up with a tasty and comforting Turmeric Latte, and get your anti-inflammatory boost. Did you read my post about the magic that is turmeric? I also explain why it’s a good thing to use black pepper and a bit of oil, when consuming turmeric.

I used fresh turmeric, fresh ginger and stick cinnamon. Ground spices work too, but I prefer how the fresh/whole spices are infused into the milk (the ground spices tend to sink to the bottom of the cup). It still works with ground spices though, and tastes great!
