Turmeric latte is a craze in the West nowadays. It is our good old arishina haalu(turmeric milk) or haldi doodh. Caffeine based drinks are being replaced by this golden yellow coloured liquid goodness. To make it festive and classy I have also added strands of fragrant saffron(kesar) along with warming spices like pepper, cinnamon powder, dry ginger powder(saunth), elaichi and nutmeg. It can be consumed for fasting rituals or vrat. It is a very nice beverage to be consumed to maintain overall health as it has a lot of good warming spices. Enjoy this delightful beverage! Other milk based drinks/beverages.
