This is based on turmeric tea, an Indian home remedy for colds and sore throats that Ritesh's mom used to make for him when he was little. The basic version uses just milk and turmeric, but Ritesh added some more spices to round out the flavor. Turmeric has natural antibiotic properties, and it did help my sore throat right away, but you need a good amount of it for it to work. Thankfully, this is actually pretty tasty...
- turmeric latte
1 cup of milk (dairy, hemp or soy, as long as it is not fat free - you need some fat in there for it to be palatable)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 pod cardamom
2-3 cloves
a couple of pinches of cinnamon (to taste, really)
Heat the spices in a pot until they start releasing their scent. Then add the milk, stir well, heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Strain out the cardamom and cloves and froth with a whisk if you like. If using unsweetened milk, feel free to add agave nectar or sugar to taste. Enjoy!
