My preferred method to appreciate turmeric? Brilliant milk! This Vanilla Turmeric Golden Milk Latte, to be precise … each. Single. Night. Brilliant milk (also called turmeric tea) is comfortable and ameliorating, with turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon – sort of like a warm hot cocoa, yet bravo. Win!
So what does this brilliant milk latte pose a flavor like? To me, it's suggestive of a chai tea latte – both are warm, hot, and ameliorating. Like espresso, it tends to be a touch of a gained taste. Turmeric can be somewhat severe, however stewing subdues that. Ginger, vanilla, and nectar additionally help check the harshness.
I've attempted this with new turmeric root, however I lean toward both the simplicity and taste of ground turmeric. I've likewise made it with crisp ginger and like it similarly just as ground, however the final product is more … interesting (positively). I've additionally attempted it with unadulterated maple syrup rather than the nectar, squashed cardamom cases, vanilla beans, star anise, cayenne pepper, and peppercorns rather than ground dark pepper (however granulating the dark pepper purportedly enables the body to ingest the turmeric).

* Coconut oil and ground black pepper have both been found to help increase the absorption of curcumin, the beneficial anti-inflammatory compound found in turmeric. I usually include both for this reason.
