Turmeric Latte

Curcumin, the compound behind turmeric’s bold yellow colour may help reduce inflammation, and is (in capsule form) a popular choice anyone with arthritis or inflammatory bowel conditions. It’s widely used in Asian cooking. You’d struggle to eat enough to gain the medicinal benefits from eating a few curries, but turmeric gathering popularity in smoothies and lattes.

Make a turmeric latte for two:

350ml unsweetened almond milk

¼ tsp ground turmeric

¼ ground cinnamon

¼ ground ginger

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp maple syrup, and a grind of black pepper (to make the turmeric more easily absorbed in the body).

Put the ingredients in a saucepan and whisk over a gentle heat (ideally with a milk frother). Once hot, pour into mugs and sprinkle with a little more cinnamon to serve.
