Fancy something comforting to drink? Hello turmeric latte!

I don't know about you but as much as I love coffee, I definitely can't have more than one or two cups a day. If I have more it affects my sleep, can cause feelings of anxiety and might upset my stomach. Enter: turmeric latte, or "Golden milk" - a fantastic addition to your daily intake of warm drinks!

Not only can turmeric latte be a comforting and fulfilling hot drink, it is also very healthy and can do wonders for your overall well-being.

Turmeric - and especially its most active compound curcumin - has many scientifically proven health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's. Furthermore, turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis.

In today's recipe, we also use ground ginger. Ginger is known to have many health benefits as well; it is an anti-inflammatory, it can settle an upset stomach and curb morning sickness. Additionally, ginger can reduce your risk of diabetes and cancer, as well as helping to prevent heart disease.

In our turmeric latte recipe, we also use cinnamon - another known anti-inflammatory. Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and may cut the risk of heart disease. Cinnamon can also lower blood sugar levels and it has a powerful anti-diabetic effect.
