Christmas Countdown - Turmeric Chai Latte

 Tonight I'm chillin' -- watching football and enjoying my Turmeric Chai Latte!


Turmeric purportedly is great for whole body health support.  Turmeric, and more specifically curcumin, which is found in turmeric, is said to boost the immune system, help reduce joint pain by reducing inflammation, and support brain and cardiovascular health!  Is this true?  Well, I'm no expert, but I can tell you that my Turmeric Chai Latte is quite tasty, so if all those things are true, they're like frosting on the cake!

What's in the mug?

3/4 cup Oat Milk
3/4 cup Chai Spice Black Tea
   Concentrate
3/4 tsp. ground turmeric
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
pinch of ground cloves
pinch of ground cardamom
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 Tbsp. maple syrup
Mix first two ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in spices and bring the mixture to a simmer, but do not boil. Allow to simmer 5-10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until smooth and hot.

Remove from heat; stir in coconut oil and maple syrup.

If desired, froth latte with electric frother.

Enjoy!


Time-saving tip:  Instead of measuring out all of the ingredients each time you make this, pre-make several packets of the dry ingredients to have on hand whenever you're ready for a cuppa!
