Some of us struggle with the lack of sleep and some with a lack of energy in the mornings. We look for a drink that soothes us when we are tired or when or unwell. What if I told you that there is one drink that can address all this and provide comfort as good as your grandmother's hug? It is a magic spice that can go with either a hot comforting drink like the hot milk or the cold coffee on a hot day. That is the Golden Turmeric. Here are two variations of comforting recipes you can try at home. 

TURMERIC ICED COFFEE

Ingredients needed:

• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 serving of Teaveli Golden Milk Powder
• Some ice
• Cooled coffee

Procedure:

In a small saucepan, heat some almond milk. Almond milk is a preferred alternative for those who are either on a keto diet or a vegan diet. For either of these diets, animal dairy products are forbidden and almond would be a nutritious plant-based alternative.       

    Add honey and a serving of golden milk powder to it. Heat it on low flame and keep stirring in between until the mixture starts steaming. Regular stirring is important if you wouldn’t want to gulp in lumps of turmeric,. 

    Once the blend is down to room temperature, take a glass with ice at the bottom and pour some coffee decoction into it. Add the cooled golden milk with almond milk to the glass. Your turmeric iced coffee is ready. 

THE GOLD SIP

Ingredients needed:

• 2 cups Coconut milk
• 1 serving of Teaveli Golden Milk Powder

• Procedure:

Add all ingredients into a teapot and heat on low flame. Keep stirring to ensure that the spices mix properly. Heating also improves the bioavailability of the ingredients . Strain to remove any lumps and serve it hot. This simple recipe can act as a base for some other recipes involving golden milk as well. It is a good practice to have golden milk tea as the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The detoxification works best at this time. To be specific, the first 15 minutes of wake up time is most crucial. Having a healthy drink, like golden milk, at this time will be most effective for your mind and body. 

    A great reason to have the golden milk tea is that it supports blood purification. Curcumin, the bright yellow compound that constitutes most effective part of the turmeric, helps in purifying the blood and in turn cleansing the skin. 

    Turmeric along with black pepper extract also helps support a healthy immune system and a balanced inflammatory response. Golden milk also helps support healthy joints and promotes a restful sleep.
