Remember the face you made when your mom forced a glass of haldi doodh (turmeric milk) down your throat, to treat your sniffles, a sore throat or even heal the pain after a nasty accident? Well, that haldi doodh is now the new cool as far as the West goes. According to a recent report in The Guardian, ‘Golden milk’ or turmeric latte — an unlikely combination of nut milk and juiced turmeric root — is 2016’s drink of choice. In a new report on food trends in the US, Google singled out turmeric’s ascent after searches for the spice increased by 56 percent from November 2015 to January this year. And fuelling that rise is its use in lattes: golden milk is among the top online searches associated with the spice. Turmeric lattes are now being sold at cafés from Sydney to San Francisco, and the drink is gaining fans in the UK.’
