In Asia, this recipe, passed down from generation to generation, is a token of Ayurvedic philosophy: golden milk (also called a golden latte) is a drink with a sweet and spicy flavor, and a real variety of benefits for body and mind. This is due to the properties of turmeric, or rather its active ingredient, curcumin, a powerful antioxidant that fights inflammation, aging and promotes the proper functioning of the liver.
The golden latte, or golden milk, has grown popular on TikTok and social media thanks to its many virtues, but perhaps above all thanks to its delicious taste. In addition to turmeric, a root whose properties make it a true superfood (and a miracle ingredient for beauty treatments), this recipe gives pride of place to vegetable milk and honey, giving it a sweet and pleasant flavor. Many more delicious variations have emerged as well: you can sweeten your golden milk with a touch of vanilla or, on the contrary, spice it up a little by adding pepper or ginger.
With its pleasant flavor, golden milk or golden latte can be drunk every day, for breakfast or in the evening. Here are some of its many benefits.
- It regulates blood pressure
- It promotes intestinal well-being
- It fights inflammation in the body
- It strengthens the immune system, and helps in particular to fight cold symptoms.
- It helps regulate cholesterol.
- It improves metabolism.
- It helps to contain weight gain.
