Turmeric coffee is a warm beverage from India, where turmeric has been used as both food and medicine for centuries. This drink doesn't always involve coffee; instead, you can find it cooked up with heated cow's milk or plant-based milk containing cinnamon, ginger to make is called "golden lattes."

A golden latte is usually made with black pepper to help the absorption of turmeric’s fat-soluble nutrients. The drink is said to have numerous health benefits, including improved digestion thanks to the presence of ginger and black pepper. While some golden milk drinkers swear by its medicinal properties, others are simply enjoying it for taste alone.

No matter your reasoning behind ordering a golden latte, you’re sure to appreciate the drink’s surprising fusion of sweet and spicy. “Golden milk is so rich in flavor with the warm spices—it doesn’t taste like coffee at all! It is almost more aromatic than anything else,” says registered dietitian-nutritionist Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD. “The turmeric imparts a rich yellow color and brings some of the spices with it.”

What is turmeric?

Turmeric, the golden spice used liberally as a colorant and peppery kick in Indian cuisine, has been touted as a digestive aid for centuries. “Turmeric is a powerful spice with many enzymes and antioxidants. In ancient times, turmeric was used in cooking to help preserve the food when refrigeration was not available,” Sass says.

Its beneficial anti-inflammatory compounds, specifically curcuminoids, or curcumin, have been found to fend off inflammation and keep the heart and brain healthy.

Scientists are also studying curcumin for its cancer-fighting abilities, specifically with regard to stopping breast cancer cell growth.

Turmeric is available fresh in root form or dried and ground into a powder. It’s most often used in savory dishes—think Indian yellow curry, roasted cauliflower hummus, and golden cashew sauce —but it’s also a welcome addition to sweet recipes.

Golden milk is just one of several ways you can add turmeric to your diet for added health benefits and healing properties.

Coffee lovers, don't worry! Turmeric researchers have found that the fat in some lattes could help your body absorb more curcumin. And both coffee and turmeric offer antioxidants which fight off free radicals - so you can enjoy them without sacrificing health benefits from this amazing spice.
