Instagram Picture Perfect 'Golden Latte'

Hello and welcome to the Creative-Capsule ...!!!

Today I have for you a Instagram frenzy drink called 'Golden Latte' or 'Turmeric Latte'. 

Turmeric latte or simply turmeric milk has been a staple winter drink in India for ages because  of its immunity boosting and healing properties. 

Golden lattes have been popping up everywhere for the past few months. But to lot of Indian-Aussies, this new trend is not that new. I remember, being forced to drink the turmeric milk as a kid when down with cold and cough. Though the new caffeine twist to this traditional drink along with the spices definitely makes it more appealing. Its healthy, delicious and looks totally photo worthy.

Ingredients:

• Milk  1 cup
• Turmeric   1/2 - 1 tsp
• Coffee Shot  ( espresso  30 ml) 
• Cinnamon (powder)  1/4 tsp
• Cardamom (powder)  1/4 tsp
• Nutmeg (powder) 1/4 tsp
• Sugar / Honey to taste

Method:

• Add turmeric,  cinnamon,  nutmeg , cardamom and sugar to the cup . Mix well by adding a teaspoon of boiling water to the spice mix. It is important to use boiling water so as to get maximum flavour from the spices.

• Add a fresh espresso shot to the spice mix. I am using a regular espresso from my coffee machine but you can use any coffee of your choice. Or you can skip the coffee step for a non-caffeinated  option. 

• Heat the milk in pan until hot but not boiling. I am using the full cream milk but low fat milk or non dairy almond milk will taste great too.

• Now froth the milk if you like and pour slowly over the spicy coffee concoction. Use a stencil to drizzle some turmeric on top for the photo courtesy.

• Your very own creamy golden late is ready to sip.

This is a great winter drink to boost your immunity as well as soothe the cough and cold symptoms.  For ages turmeric has been a natural  remedy for cold and fever. Turmeric also helps in improving skin texture, reduce joint pains and relaxes body for a good night sleep. I would suggest having it without the coffee shot if you are drinking it before bedtime.  Alternatively you can customise this drink by adding other spices like cloves black pepper and ginger.

This healthy and fancy drink can be a great addition to your daily coffee routine. If you happen to make the golden latte then let me know how did you like it in the comments below.
