Golden latte : a 5,000-year-old-drink...
We tell you all about it !
Golden latte was added to our menu a few months ago. Golden milk (or golden latte) is a turmeric drink that’s comforting, gourmet and very healthy! 😌
In fact, this drink is actually 5,000 years old, very popular in Ayuverda… Golden milk is a testament to its potential thanks to these many virtues, first and foremost that of being anti-inflammatory. We mentioned it briefly in an article on our detox drinks, but this one deserves a little more attention! 👀
In this article, we tell you more about golden latte, what it’s made of and what makes it so magical…
But first, let us tell you more about Ayurveda…
What is ayurveda ?
Ayurveda is the name given to traditional Indian medicine. A five-thousand-year-old Indian system of healing that holistically addresses mind, body and spirit. Ayus means life and veda means science.
It emphasizes good nutrition, exercise, full breathing, stress reduction, good sleep and other concepts that help and support the human organism for a harmonious lifestyle. Our knowledge of ayurveda comes from the Vedas. These are texts that originated in India and are among the oldest writings in the world. 👀
TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF WITH AYURVEDA
Although Ayuverda is thousands of years old, its powerful concepts are still relevant today. In today’s fast-paced, over-stimulated world, we consume an enormous amount of energy. Sometimes, therefore, it’s necessary to adopt good reflexes about how we nourish our bodies and minds. 😌
Ayuderva deploys its strength through elements taken from nature; herbs, spices, seeds… Indian medicine maintains that the raw elements of nature hold the key to maintaining good health in us humans. With their many virtues, these elements are destined to establish a consistent link between our mental and physical health.
In synergy, some of them function in the body as superfoods that are capable of providing us with energy and consequent recovery during physical exertion. 💪
Golden latte
Of Asian culture, particularly Ayurveda, it is reputed to obtain the best anti-inflammatory, antioxidant quality and is soothing on several levels. 🙌
It offers a comforting sweetness both in texture and delicacy linked to spices and honey notes.
GOLDEN MILK INGREDIENTS
Turmeric and pepper: Powdered turmeric is much more than just a spice: it’s an all-purpose medicinal plant. It’s a treasure trove of active ingredients, including curcuminoids, phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This anti-inflammatory power is so powerful that it relieves joint pain, skin problems and lesions, to name but a few. Turmeric also has multiple benefits for the entire digestive system.
In synergy with pepper, it unleashes its full potential, helping to keep the body healthy. Its warm, pungent and spicy flavors make it stand out. 🔥
Ghee butter: Here, we’ll be talking about clarified butter (or Ghee). At Occasion Café, our golden milk is prepared with homemade clarified butter! The butter is heated, and the heat activates the purification process. This allows the lactose to evaporate. This technique gives the butter excellent nutritive power. It is good for the immune system, skin, bones and eyes. It is rich in vitamins D, A and omega-3.
Honey: It has excellent anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. It’s already predigested by bees, so it doesn’t activate ours.
Cinnamon: An antioxidant. It fights diabetes, protects brain function and prevents certain cancers.
Ginger: Helps reduce blood sugar levels. Ginger also aids digestion.
WHEN SHOULD YOU DRINK IT ?
At any time of day. It is particularly beneficial in the morning, to cleanse the body after the night’s fasting. It can help the body eliminate toxins from the previous day. In the evening, it will promote your sleep with its soothing power and help you digest all your food from the day. 💪
At any time of day, you can let yourself be seduced by its intense taste and comforting character.
We hope you’ve been able to learn more about this wonderful drink that is golden latte! If you’ve never tried it, we’ll let you discover this healthy, gourmet drink. 😌
