The addition of coffee to a traditional golden milk turmeric latte is a new twist on your favorite morning drink. Full of turmeric and healthy coconut milk it will help you get off to a great start in a new way!

Ever wonder what a food blogger does behind the scenes? Here is a tiny look at my day. Hint, it involves lots of coffee cups.

This is an overhead view of my workspace. What is missing from the picture below? Notice anything on the white plate? EXACTLY!

That’s right it’s empty!!! I can’t do anything in the morning without a cup of coffee or tea. I need caffeine and this is the fastest way to get it into my body that doesn’t include an IV.

Depending on the morning and what I have to accomplish that day, the levels of caffeine that I require varies. I gave up sugar in my coffee and tea a few years ago so mine beverages are usually strong and certainly not sweet.

After becoming friends with quite a few Indian food bloggers, I recently started drinking Golden Milk at night.

WHAT IS GOLDEN MILK?

Golden milk is a mixture of warm milk (I use coconut), turmeric, and other spices. The turmeric is the key and is also what gives the milk it’s golden color. Turmeric has been shown to have the following properties because of its curcumin content.

• fights inflammation
• acts as an antioxidant
• detoxifies the liver
• helpful in relieving arthritis symptoms
• boosts brain function
• possibly helpful for fighting diabetes and cancer by lowering your blood sugar
• eases your digestive system
• relieves night-time coughing

The golden milk is prepared by simmering milk and spices and then honey is added to it at the end. I have found that the golden milk helps me get to sleep faster, which is a good thing as I typically have a lot to do the next day! 

Because I enjoy the flavors of the golden milk, I am curious to try it with my morning coffee and see how it helps me get through the day.
