Turmeric Chai Latte

The Turmeric Chai Latte is a favorite here at Swami’s. It can be made in every season, and it's perfect for any time of day – we especially enjoy it in the morning, or on chilly afternoons!
Turmeric milk has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and offers many benefits to the body and mind. Alongside the chai spice blend, we like to add some black pepper or coconut oil to help improve the absorption of turmeric.
