This ginger turmeric latte recipe only requires 4 main ingredients and the health benefits are enormous! Just writing about it makes me want to jump up and whip up a cup! That’s how much I think you’re going to love this recipe.
How Is This Ginger Turmeric Latte Anti-Inflammatory?
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin which is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. According to Mayo Clinic, turmeric may be as effective as ibuprofen for reducing swelling and pain.
Ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties and research shows that combining both ginger and turmeric can help reduce flare-ups and pain in those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Coconut milk is not only in this recipe for flavor, it contains healthy fats that help your body absorb turmeric. You see, turmeric is a fat-soluble spice so you need to combine it with some sort of healthy fat to get its full effects.
Anti-Inflammatory Ginger Turmeric Latte Recipe
Ingredients for 1 serving | Total time: 20 minutes
- 1/2 cup of coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- 1-inch fresh ginger root (chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup (or agave nectar)
How To Make Anti-inflammatory Ginger Turmeric Latte
Combine the turmeric, ginger, water, and coconut milk into a saucepan and stir to dissolve the turmeric. Set it on medium heat and cover.
Once it starts to boil, stir it and lower the heat. Let the milk simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally.
Next, empty the mixture into a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. I usually strain the latte to remove extra ginger pulps and reblend it with the agave or maple syrup to get the foam at the top.
Pour the latte into a cup, sprinkle some cinnamon on the top, and enjoy while it’s still hot.
