~ Turmeric Chai Latte

Dearly Beloved Friends of Hounds Who Cook,

Our Girl had a Turmeric Chai Latte in a coffee shop in Morgantown, PA and fell in love with it. She was delirious with its wonder and promptly went home and researched and made her own. It starts with what is called Golden Paste. Make a batch and keep it stocked in the fridge for your culinary joy.  (So many ways to use it.) Then make yourself this enlightening Chai Latte anytime you please, especially at bedtime for a good night's sleep.

Turmeric Chai Latte
2 cups milk (full-on dairy or almond milk or coconut milk, etc.)
1 Tb. Golden Paste
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (we use a cinnamon / nutmeg / chia blend that's organic from McCormick)
1/4 tsp ginger powder (or 1/2 tsp fresh)
dash of cayenne
1 Tb. maple syrup
Hot brewed tea (use green tea for daytime or a nice chamomile for evening)

Warm the milk (do not boil) and add golden paste and spices. Use 1 part spiced milk and 1 part tea to serve. Add maple syrup. Adjust proportions to taste.

Notes from Elias: This smells delish even to a pup. I get Golden Paste in my pup food too!

Notes from the spirit of Gute: Turmeric is heavenly. We have it here too.
