Healthy Recipes: Golden Milk with Turmeric

Golden Milk with turmeric (also known as “Turmeric Latte”) tastes delicious and is also very healthy. It warms the body and is the perfect drink for the cooler days of the year. Here you can learn how to make Golden Milk yourself and why it is so healthy.

Golden Milk consists of only a few ingredients – plant based milk, turmeric, ginger and spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom or even black pepper.

The healthy drink owes its bright yellow color to the Far Eastern medicinal tuber turmeric. It belongs to the ginger family and can grow to a height of over one meter. The root, which grows in the tropical regions of Asia, tastes mildly spicy with a slightly earthy-bitter note. Dried and powdered, turmeric powder also gives curry its characteristic color. Turmeric is an ancient medicinal plant that contains many health-promoting and anti-inflammatory active ingredients. The curcumin it contains is said to have analgesic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and digestive properties. Therefore, the golden tuber is known in Asia as the “spice of life”. The high-quality nutrients of turmeric also have a relaxing effect on the whole organism. Drink a cup of warm turmeric milk in the evening and help your body to calm down in a natural way.
