GOOD AS GOLD
First it was matcha lattes, then Bulletproof Coffee. Now the hot drink
the health set are stretching their toned arms out for is golden milk. Made
from turmeric (yep, that yellow powder you put in your homemade
tikka masala), milk, ginger and honey, it’s all the rage in cafés in Sydney,
San Francisco and London. A DIY version requires just two teaspoons of
turmeric, 250ml milk (either dairy or plant-based), a sprinkle of ginger and
a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to taste. Nutritionists are raving about
its key ingredient, turmeric, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
that detoxes the liver and soothes upset tummies. Diehard fans of the
stuff claim it also helps them sleep better and brightens the skin. Our tip?
Don’t skip the honey, unless you fancy drinking hot milk
that tastes like Saturday night’s curry.
