Notes
Turmeric is rock star ingredient and, along with the ginger and cinnamon, it makes a comforting, nourishing hot drink. You can use milk instead of water for a creamier drink. I’ve added a heaped tablespoon of nut butter for extra creaminess – it also helps create a nice creamy froth on top of the latte (just like the creamy frothy part on top of a latte or cappuccino!).
Here’s a great tip from one of my followers – you can make a paste by blending everything with just a dash of water and then freeze the paste in ice cube trays; then just blend up with water/milk when you’re ready to have one. Enjoy!
