Turmeric Latte

Having realized that I was sensitive to caffeine I try not to have coffee, but I miss having a warm delicious drink in the mornings. I went out to lunch with friends and tried turmeric latte from +Pomegranate Cafe in Ahwatukee a few weeks ago - and totally fell in love. 

Fresh Turmeric Root, similar to Ginger

Turmeric is incredibly healing and great for weak, stiff joints, and inflammation, boosting your immunity and helping ease sore throats from a cough or cold.

Sipping turmeric latte felt nurturing, delicious and healing. It feels energizing to have in the morning and calming to have at night. You'll feel like your in heaven!


If you enjoy the sweet and spicy flavor of a chai latte and are looking for some excellent health benefits at the same time, try the turmeric latte recipe below.

1 cup fresh nut milk (regular cow's milk or soy milk will work fine too, I used 50/50 almond milk and coconut milk)

½ teaspoon turmeric powder

½ teaspoon ginger powder

¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

2 teaspoons organic agave, honey or maple syrup(adjust to your taste)

Heat nut milk over medium-high heat and add turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon. Begin whisking to froth the foam and reduce heat to medium-low when mixture beings to simmer. Watch carefully and to prevent from scorching. Continue whisking until the foam thickens. Stir in and agave and remove from heat and pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.

What's your beverage of choice in the morning?
