Sunshine Latte

I love this drink warm in winter with spices such as cinnamon, and in summer poured over lots of ice with fresh ginger added.

Not only does this drink taste great, turmeric has anti-inflammatory effects in the gut, helping to keep the lining of the gut wall healthy so it can do a good job of absorbing the nutrients from food.

Turmeric contains polyphenols, which are natural plant compounds that help to feed the gut’s beneficial microbiota and this leads to further anti-inflammatory benefits!

Your gut microbiome beneficially helps with symptoms in the perimenopause and menopause, plus longevity and overall health, so any foods that support the gut microbiota’s health are well worth including into your meals.

If you like Turmeric, as I do, then have a look at some of my other recipes using it on my website, such as Pak Choi & Ginger with Turmeric Fish, Golden Turmeric Ginger Custard with Warm Pears and Sunshine Seed Bars.

1 heaped teaspoon turmeric powder Big pinch of cinnamon powder Optional - big pinch ginger powder or ¼ teaspoon freshly grated ginger 300ml milk -
Any type Honey to taste - I usually use ½ teaspoon depending on how sweet my honey is
1 small pinch black pepper

If you would like a hot drink, then warm the milk before adding it to the other ingredients.
Into a large mug add the ingredients and stir well to combine.
In summer I like to pour this over lots of ice and make an Iced Turmeric Latte.
