The Golden Latte made with turmeric and saffron wasn’t born in a new-age coffee shop. The practice of drinking "haldi doodh" (Hindi for “turmeric milk”) goes back a few millennia in the Indian subcontinent. Mixing turmeric and saffron with hot milk creates a delightful and soothing drink. It is not only delicious but a mainstay in Ayurvedic medicine. Turmeric’s most active compound, curcumin, has been found to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in the body. It is also considered to improve brain function and overall immunity.
