As I sit here coveting a cup of turmeric tea latte (in conjunction to typing this post), it’s 65F outside. Mind you just 2 days ago I was shoveling a blanket (or 3) of snow from my drive away after. Can I confess something? I don’t mind it. In fact, this Texas girl thinks it’s so pretty! It brightens up living room but at the same makes me feel cozy. Ya, I know, I’m that weirdo who’s never seen so much powdery snow. Until we moved to Utah a year ago!
Thankfully I think we beat it for good this time! I’d like to credit my amazing bulletproof turmeric tea latte skills to that. Okay, I may be exaggerating, but still. Do you even know how magical this golden milk latte is? SUPER HEALING POWERS!
It all begins with a double dose of turmeric, healthy fats from the brain octane oil (MCT oil included), and vitamin C rich foods.
These ingredients; orange juice (or in this recipe, blood orange juice), turmeric spice (rich in Curcumin; active constituent of turmeric), coconut milk and oil, maple syrup, herbal tea, vanilla, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon make up one powerful “golden milk” tea latte.
HOW TO MAKE Bulletproof Blood Orange Turmeric Tea Latte (1 MIN):
I wasn’t lying about those heavenly ingredients in this Turmeric Tea Latte! The “GOLDEN GATES” of healing. See what I did there? Puns, always. I should note, that using blood orange has less acidic taste, so it’s perfect for a sweetener boost!
Ingredients in Orange Turmeric Tea Latte
Anyway, let’s chat more about each ingredient. I’ve been dying to get nutrition nerdy with turmeric again!
- Orange juice (or blood orange juice) – We all know that oranges are rich in Vitamin C, but did you know that blood orange is actually higher? Yes, they have a more concentrated amount of Vitamin C and higher amounts of the flavonoid pigment anthocyanin (a disease-fighting antioxidant). The pigment that gives them that red color! Plant power ya’ll!
- Turmeric spice (rich in Curcumin; active constituent of turmeric) – Studies have shown that Curcumin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer properties. Ya —> ULTIMATE HEALING!
- Unsweetened Almond or Coconut milk – Dairy free, vegan milk. Rich in Minerals Almond milk is rich in antioxidant Vitamin E.
- Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil – A quick source of pure energy from quality MCT oil. Helps fuel your brain and body.
- Maple syrup (or raw honey if you are not vegan) – Natural sweetener rich in minerals. And anti-bacterial due to its phenolic compounds! This means Maple syrup could help fight unwanted bacteria (pathogens). Um, like a virus. Like the one we had.
- Herbal tea – Rich in anti-oxidants, soothing, calming. Made from herbs, fruits, seeds, or roots then steeped in boiling/hot water.
- Ginger, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon – Great for easing digestion, anti-inflammatory properties, and of course anti-oxidation properties. Which means it can help fight that oxidative stress going on in your body. Stress from being sick, over working, overtraining, life. All of the above.
