When it comes to inflammation-busting superfoods, little compares to the powerful effects of turmeric root! This brightly hued orange rhizome is in the same botanical family as ginger, and is most known for the robust, earthy flavor and pop of bright yellow it lends to traditional Indian and Thai curry dishes.
One of the most delicious and traditional ways to enjoy the healing benefits of this ancient Ayurvedic spice is in the form of a sweet and creamy, soul-nourishing and belly-warming Golden Coconut Turmeric Mylk Latte; it's such a treat and also makes a more medicinal way of satisfying a longing for a cup of hot chocolate or a coffee-based latte.
This special recipe contains a trifecta of sweet spices which help balance out the pungent flavor of turmeric- vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon- as well as electrolyte-rich coconut water, and our Dastony whole coconut butter, which rounds things out with a deliciously rich coconut milk flavor and plenty of healthy medium chain triglyceride fats to boost immunity and the metabolism.
The Recipe
1.5 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 pinch Himalayan salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 to 1 tsp raw honey - optional- the coconut water gives it a nice mellow sweetness
