Vegan Turmeric Masala Latte Recipe

Turmeric's yellow colour comes from Curcumin, which boasts powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This vegan turmeric masala latte is a delicious way to include more Curcumin in your diet. The Nepalese-style blend of masala tea spices and fresh ginger will warm you up on chilly autumn and winter evenings ... or first thing in the morning. Don’t forget to add black pepper to the recipe; this will significantly increase the bioavailability of curcumin in the turmeric powder. Our recipe is vegan but it can be just dairy free or made with regular milk and honey too. This recipe makes two big mugs of Turmeric and Nepali Masala hot drink.
