Specialty Drink of the Month:

Caramel Turmeric Cold Brew

Caramel Tumeric Cold Brew

Turmeric is a superstar of functional ingredient world, especially when it comes to giving the immune system a boost. It’s now the top selling herbal ingredient in the natural space! Turmeric has a naturally warm spicy profile with some bitter notes, and is best paired with a little sweetness like the caramel, which brings a creamy sweetness. Caramel is also one of the top flavors in coffee-based beverages, so it’s a winner in any pairing – and especially when introducing a less-familiar flavor like turmeric. The cold brew itself is mild, so it will take on these flavors beautifully. If you wanted to up the antioxidant and immunity profile even more, try adding a touch of ginger or cinnamon to the mix.
