Flavor Profile
Turmeric, known for its earthy and slightly bitter taste, harmonizes beautifully with the warm spiciness of ginger and clove. It creates a delightful balance that will dance on your palate. The soft sweet flavor of cinnamon and a touch of fennel add a unique twist, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
The black peppercorn finishes off this herbal chai tea with a little kick that adds a delightful depth to each sip.
Benefits of Turmeric Tea
However, the black peppercorn is not just a flavor enhancer. It also boosts the absorption of curcumin by a staggering 2,000%! By nature, the liver attempts to eliminate curcumin. But the peppercorn hinders this process. This enables the beneficial anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of curcumin to increase in the bloodstream.
Fat also helps the absorption of turmeric. Adding a little dairy (or almond milk, or coconut milk) will optimize the benefits of turmeric. The perfect reason to make a Turmeric Chai latte – help your body absorb the benefits of the turmeric.
The best part? Chai Turmeric is completely caffeine-free, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a soothing beverage without the jitters.
How to make a Turmeric Chai Latte
