Turmeric Latte

turmeric latte, tasty with anti-oxidant benefits

There is nothing in the house to snack on… I want comfort… warm, tasty and hot. Nothing like necessity to drive invention. The first time I made this, I used a chunk of turmeric root. Why? Because I’d heard about the anti-oxidant benefits, saw them at New Sagaya Midtown and wondered what they were like fresh. I also used fresh ginger root. Tasted great! But today no such whole foods in my somewhat bare pantry.

Here’s a simpler version if only because you don’t have to peel the turmeric and ginger.
Enjoy!

pinch of black pepper
(optional) 1 teaspoon

(optional) add a scoop of Systemic Formulas collagen to make this a high protein breakfast drink
