Cold, gray, rainy, that’s how January currently comes along. No snow, let alone sunshine hours (at least here around the Regensburg area). Actually, I could drink tons of hot chocolate on days like this, but sometimes it just has to be something else. Especially when it’s so gloomy and cold and your colleagues are already catching their third flu of the season.

Immune Booster Latte

Immune Booster Recipe (5 minutes)

That’s why this Immune Booster Latte is just the thing, because it not only provides a pleasant warmth and strengthens your immune system, but is also damn tasty:

Almond milk instead of cow’s milk reduces the formation of acid in the body and provides a great creamy consistency
Turmeric has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and can slow down the aging process
Ginger has an antibacterial effect and promotes blood circulation
Coconut blossom sugar with a lower glycemic index than raw cane sugar or other common sweeteners

Fresh turmeric root provides GOOD VIBES ONLY

Yummy! I prefer to use fresh turmeric root when it is available in the organic supermarket. Otherwise, turmeric powder also works wonderfully. When using turmeric, it is important to add black pepper, as the piperine it contains is important for its usability in the body. According to studies, the addition of black pepper increases the bioavailability of turmeric by 2000 percent!

Essential for the Immune Boost latte is the addition of coconut oil. why? Turmeric is soluble in oil and it ensures that the ingredients can be absorbed optimally.

All this combined with dreamy, in my case. homemade almond milk . When I have a little more time, I also foam the milk extra to get even more of a “latte feeling” feel.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Turmeric is strongly coloring and can, for example, strongly discolor blender jars of high-performance blenders with only one application. When in doubt, work without a blender and process the ingredients in a small saucepan with a whisk (both stainless steel). The strong staining power is the only disadvantage of the healthy root. My Blendtec is now in any case slightly yellowish discolored, but as a food blogger you have to accept that.

So now but enough theory and off we go with this great tasting, healthy and immune system-boosting latte:

Warming
Pleasantly sharp
Naturally sweetened
Anti-inflammatory
Antibacterial
Very tasty

Perfect to go with, for example, the simple gluten free muffins or the 1-Bowl vegan pumpkin muffins .
