Ancient Wisdom - Turmeric Latte

 

Ancient Ayurvedic medicine inspired this nourishing blend and our mission was to make it absolutely delicious. Organic spices offer anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits and we’re proud to say our customers tell us that the taste is unparalleled!

We ALL know how good turmeric is for us – it’s basically the poster child for the “food as medicine” movement! But isn’t it always the way that the things we know are good for us sometimes seem challenging to adapt to? I mean, turmeric in a curry, yes fine, but… a latte?? The thing is – this combination has been drunk for hundreds of years on the continent as an antidote to inflammation and digestive issues. We’ve taken that ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic Medicine & poured all our love and effort into making our blend not only authentic but utterly delicious too! We’ve combined organic spices – cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and ginger, along with a generous hit of Madagascan vanilla to provide depth of flavour, digestive benefits & nourishing sweetness. We finish it with black pepper to aid the absorption of the active anti-inflammatory ingredients of the turmeric. When adding to your preferred milk/mylk, we suggest “bullet proofing” – that is adding a spot of good fat (cream or coconut oil) to further enhance the benefits & absorption.

Kerry has been giving her kids this for years and years – it’s always made the perfect soothing bedtime drink. When it became “trendy” and hit the cafes, she tried one & her first thought was, honestly, “Woah, people really are beginning to care about their health, ‘cause this is NOT the nicest version of this drink.” She was determined to make one that people would LOVE. She took the idea to Kylie, who promptly said, “Only if you can make it delicious instead of medicinal – which I doubt”. Kerry loves to prove Kylie wrong. To be fair, she’s got to take her chances when they come. Kylie’s the brains of this outfit, Kerry’s just the kitchen bitch…

The active ingredient in turmeric – curcumin – has a strong anti-inflammatory capacity, and its ability to improve the antioxidant capacity of the body means it can block free radicals and simultaneously boost the body’s natural defence systems. Curcumin boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in your brain. The line-up of spices is an exceptional blend not only of flavours, but of a frankly mind blowing list of medicinal benefits. Ancient medicine plus the results of modern testing show, amongst other things, the capacity to protect cells against DNA damage, to fight diabetes by managing the body’s response to insulin, to manage our cholesterol balance, to boost heart health, to combat bacterial infections & to defend against neurological disorders.

Serving size 2g Add anywhere from half a teaspoon to a rounded teaspoon (depending on your preference) to a mug of your favourite milk & warm gently on the stove. It’s a great idea to also add either some coconut oil (1/2 tsp) or a slug of organic cream to the mix, as fat helps the body absorb the active ingredient in the turmeric. Honey or maple syrup is also added to taste if required. You can also have your barista make this – simply steam the milk with the mix & fat together.
