Golden Turmeric Latte

Turmeric has amazing anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and gastrointestinal health benefits, largely due to curcumin, which is a highly pigmented antioxidant, giving turmeric also its signature golden colour.  Aside from just turmeric, this recipe also calls for several food grade essentials oils (make sure they are food grade and suitable for ingestion!) for even more medicinal benefits to aid digestion, and to enhance the flavor. Try swapping out your caffeinated beverage of choice with a turmeric latte for a set period of time, or for a few days per week, to give your adrenals some TLC.
