Turmeric and Cardamom Latte

BY

Oct 28, 2024

In all honesty I am not usually a fan of turmeric lattes. Everytime I have ordered one at a cafe, I just don't enjoy it. But my mum, who happens to be an Ayurvedic Practitioner, made me this turmeric and cardamom latte and it was absolutely delicious so I needed to share it here! Of course as with every recipe on The Skin Insider, there's a reason I have included it. Turmeric is such an incredibly potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory spice, especially due to its active compound, curcumin. The absorption and bioavailability of turmeric can also be increased through different methods and ingredients. The first is fat as turmeric is fat soluble, which is why we pair it here with ghee in this recipe. The second is heat and the third is black pepper as the piperine in pepper increases the bioavailability of turmeric. This recipe helps to get as much of turmeric's benefits as possible by factoring all of these in.
