Turmeric root really is terrific! Not only is it a fabulous addition to cooking, it has been used in Asia for thousands of years for its’ medicinal benefits, as well as spiritual benefits. The root is usually dried and ground into a powder for easier use. Turmeric has an active ingredient called curcumin, which is thought to treat many ailments from the common cold, acne, liver disease to cancer prevention. It is associated with the sacral and solar plexus chakra, and healing because of its bright yellow and orange hues.
Now that you know a little bit about turmeric and its benefits, I would like to share my recipe for my turmeric latte, my favorite way to enjoy it!
Take a 1 cup of vanilla (sweetened or unsweetened) almond or coconut milk, put it in a pot on the stove on medium heat. Add 1tsp of ground turmeric, a pinch of cinnamon and 1 tbsp of raw honey. Whisk together until you see steam slowly rising and you are ready to enjoy! Easy as 1… 2…3!
