Warm Cup of Sunshine

Golden Milk, also known as Turmeric Latte is our all time favorite drink during cooler months. Like a warm cup of golden sunshine, this is a powerful anti-inflammatory and detoxifying drink to boost our immune system. Turmeric has been widely used in all over the world as a spice and medicinal herb. Rich in natural oils, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and phytochemical that works to balance and support the natural function of almost every part of the body. 

Drink turmeric latte in the morning to start the day feeling balanced and grounded. Enjoy turmeric latte in the evening to relax and sleep better. Use turmeric latte as a natural healing remedy when you're feeling under the weather. We can't say enough how much we love this drink! Here is our secret recipe:

Origin Signature Turmeric Milk 
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4 Cups


Ingredients:
  • Organic Soy Milk
  • Water
  • Organic Tumeric Root Powder 
  • Coconut Oil or Ghee
  • Ginger
  • Black Pepper (optional)
  • Cinnamon (optional)​
  • Organic Blue Agave (optional)
Instructions:
In a small pot, bring to boil 1 cups of water with 3 cups of soy milk. Lower the heat to simmer. Add 4 slices of ginger.  Add 1 tablespoon of turmeric root powder. Add in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil / ghee / or another healthy oil of your choice (to help with absorption). Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add in a dash of black pepper, cinnamon, and agave to taste. Pour turmeric latte into a cup through a strainer. Enjoy! :)

Other Useful Tips:
Turmeric is fat soluble therefore we add in a teaspoon of coconut oil or other healthy oil of your choice to help increase absorption. 

Heat is said to increase the solubility of curcumin (the primary active constituent in turmeric) by 12 times, which may also increase its bioavailability in the body (viii). Therefore turmeric latte is best served warm. 

This is a vegan recipe, feel free to substitute soy milk with other plant based type milk such as coconut milk, rice milk, and almond milk. 

Wash cup with baking soda to remove any yellow stains.
