We’ve all heard of the phrase ‘ in the pink of health’, meaning ‘being in good health’. However if you were to mention this to our Indian grandmothers, they’re sure to pooh-pooh you. “What pink? Health is in the yellow!!” Yellow is considered an auspicious color in India, and maybe its because of the immense health benefits of the popular yellow spice – turmeric!

Turmeric has a list of health benefits that is too long to list out here, but we’ve mentioned some of them in our recipe for Golden Latte. Today’s recipe is something similar, based on a traditional recipe where fresh root turmeric is grated and boiled in water with spices like ginger and black pepper. Now we know that practically speaking, grating and boiling turmeric root is difficult, which is why we’ve opted for the ready to use Turmeric Milk Masala from Little Moppet Foods. With a blend of turmeric, pepper, dry ginger, cardamom and cinnamon, this mix makes this recipe super quick!
