Golden Turmeric Latte

Golden turmeric paste:

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup turmeric powder (or 1/2 cup turmeric root peeled and chopped)

• 2 tablespoons finely grated ginger root

• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

• 1 cup water

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tsp good quality vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil

• Optional extras: cardamon, anise or nutmeg

Method

• If using turmeric root, place into blender with ginger root and 1/2 cup of water. Blend well.

• Combine all the ingredients (except coconut oil) in a small saucepan. Whisk continuously over a medium heat until it starts bubbling.

• Reduce to a low heat and continue to whisk continue to whisk for 3-4 minutes until you have a smooth paste. Remove from the heat, add the coconut oil and whisk well.

To create your individual golden turmeric latte

• 1 teaspoon golden turmeric paste

• 3/4 cup boiling water

• 1/2 cup coconut cream

Choose your favourite cup (I prefer drinking from a thin china mug then a thicker ceramic mug)

Place paste into cup, add boiling water and top with coconut cream, sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon. Stir and sit back and enjoy.
