Elements: Turmeric Drinks
A historic element in Eastern medicine and longtime culinary staple in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, turmeric began to take on stateside trend status as it made appearances in beverages like warming golden lattes. The herbaceous perennial, which is part of the ginger family and similarly harvested for its rhizomes, imparts an unmistakable earthy spice and vibrant color to drinks.
