GOOD FOOD Cheers to a holiday tipple for runners
We’re happy to share our recipe for Balzac’s Golden Latte, a soothingly healthy and delicious drink. We use a potent paste of fresh turmeric made by a Canadian company, Truly Turmeric. The peppery, slightly astringent flavour of fresh turmeric is pronounced and when steeped, it stains the coconut milk a gorgeous warm golden yellow. We admire the company’s values. As a social enterprise, they support a community of 350 small farmers growing turmeric in Belize. We finish the Golden Latte with honey, lemon, and a pinch of black pepper, a complimentary spice that helps it to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Research is still out on turmeric’s medicinal properties. But that doesn’t stop athletes from drinking Golden Latte for its anti-inflammatory potential. After a long winter run, there’s no greater pleasure than wrapping your hands around a steaming cup of this hot frothy golden drink. It’s easy to make at home or make Balzac’s your running destination and let us do it for you.
