Anti-Inflammatory Green Tea and Turmeric Latte
This anti-inflammatory green tea and turmeric latte is the perfect way to warm up on a cold day. It's made with green tea, coconut milk, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and honey or maple syrup. The turmeric gives the latte a beautiful golden color and a slightly spicy flavor. The cinnamon and ginger add warmth and depth of flavor. And the honey or maple syrup sweetens the latte to perfection.
I first came across this recipe when I was living in India. I was traveling with a group of friends and we were staying in a small village in the Himalayas. One evening, we were invited to dinner by a local family. They served us a delicious meal, including this green tea and turmeric latte. I was immediately hooked on the flavor and I've been making it ever since.
