How to Make Yellow Coffee: A Turmeric Latte

Take your spiced coffee to the next level with this yellow turmeric latte recipe. 

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is a common spice that comes from the root of the Curcuma longa, a plant in the ginger family that is grown commercially in India and Southeast Asia. It is a major ingredient in curry powder and is sometimes also referred to as Indian saffron or the golden spice. The bright yellow color has also inspired many cultures to use it as a dye.

The compound that gives turmeric its vibrant yellow color is curcumin.

Turmeric also has a long history in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda in India. Today, though, it is best known in the kitchen for its warm, earthy flavor and the sunny color it gives to dishes and drinks like this latte.
