Golden latte - for all your aches and pains!

Lots of you will have heard me raving about the benefits of turmeric recently - from reducing tooth ache, helping with joint inflammation and even helping with depression.
But aside from eating tons of curries, it can be tricky to get turmeric in your diet. So why not try this delicious alternative to your cappucino? As this drink doesn't contain caffeine, it's a perfect pre-bed calmer.

Ingredients:

1/2 inch fresh turmeric, peeled (or 1/2 tsp ground turmeric though the flavour won't be as mellow)
Pinch of black pepper (helps with the absorption of turmeric)
1 tsp coconut oil
200ml your favourite milk (I like almond or oat)
Sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg or any other spices you like
1 tsp honey or other sweetener

Method:

In a blender, blitz the turmeric, spices and milk until smooth. In a small pan, heat the coconut oil and add the milk mixture. Warm over a gentle heat and then serve with a tsp of honey or sweeten to taste.
