Iced Golden Milk Latte

This iced golden milk gets its color from turmeric and its flavor from a plethora of spices known for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Easy to make, it is naturally sweetened and super refreshing. 

After seeing a vegan variation of this recipe on 10 Aprons blog, I tried it out (with a few minor adjustments). Barry was skeptical, but after a taste, he proclaimed it to be delicious! 

About turmeric—For years I kept it on hand for summer pickling recipes but with all the hype about its healing properties, we’ve been trying to make it one of our every-day spices, adding it to soups, stews, seasoning blends, and looking for recipes that contain a significant amount of the spice.
