Notes

Turmeric Latte

NOTE: Use this Coconut Milk recipe OR if using the canned variety of coconut milk you need to add 30mg of methionine.

A note on milk. For recipes such as this, carton or homemade coconut milk are the most suitable. Please find the recipe and methionine levels for homemade coconut milk here Otherwise, a good brand of store bought milk is Australia's Own, unsweetened organic coconut milk.

Ginger and turmeric has a pretty solid history of use with cancer so adding these superfoods in is an extra bonus. Ginger helps lower inflammation whilst aiding digestion. Cardamom pods are also very beneficial for digestion and can relieve nausea and vomiting.

Manuka honey is a nice addition to this for sweetness but also for its highly beneficial antibacterial and healing properties. Honey can also soothe and upset the stomach as well as provide food for the gut bacteria.
