Bedtime Turmeric Latte
Turmeric lattes are the perfect bedtime drink. All you need is one steaming cup of this creamy, comforting drink and you’re ready for a good night’s sleep. Turmeric latte or “golden milk” is also a phenomenal drink if you have a headache, need some vitamin boost or feel flu-like symptoms creeping up! It’s nature’s medicine in a warm, cozy mug.
I personally love having it before bedtime because it calms my nervous system down while improving my immune system during my sleep! Here are some other golden health benefits:
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves mood
- Supports brain function
- Improves memory
- Boosts immune system
- Helps with digestion
- Accelerates recovery
- Helps you have a restful sleep
- Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing
Let’s talk flavour
Turmeric latte tastes warm, slightly earthy, sweet and savoury at the same time. It’s tricky to describe but to sum it up in one word: cozy! You just have to give it a try! If you prefer a sweeter latte, you can adjust the earthy taste with honey/maple syrup. I prefer a warm cup at night, but you can definitely make this into an iced latte. An iced version of this latte makes the most refreshing, detoxifying summer drink. Take it up a notch and add a few swirls of real whipped cream on top. So yummy!
Here are all the ingredients you’ll need:
- Plant-based milk
- Ginger
- Turmeric powder
- Maple syrup (or honey)
- Smooth peanut butter (or almond butter)
- Vanilla extract
- cinnamon
You can also add a couple pinches of black pepper and nutmeg if you prefer more warm spices.
