Golden milk has been around for a long time and recognised for its health benefits, often used as a delicious night cap. More recently the turmeric latte has hit the cafes as a new healthy coffee alternative.
Curcumin, the antioxidant that gives turmeric its golden hue, has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, gastrointestinal health properties, which have been linked to the prevention of cancer cell growth and management of inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis, asthma, eczema and inflammatory bowel disease.

Ingredients
* 2 cups of milk of choice (almond, coconut and dairy all work in this recipe)
* 1 tsp turmeric or turmeric spice mix * 1/2 tsp cinnamon * pinch of black pepper (increases absorption)

* pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
* 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup to taste
Instructions
1. First, blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender until smooth.
2. Then, pour into a small saucepan and heat for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
3. Drink immediately.
