Chocolate Turmeric Tea is a great drink to have on a cold winter’s day. It’s also a brilliant drink to amke a lover who likes spice. I enjoy this in the evening when my son has gone to bed and the house is quiet. For this drink, I have used oat milk but a milk of your choice is OK. Also if you can’t get fresh turmeric then ground is good too. One teaspoon into the blender cup would be good. However you decide to drink the tasty tea, as always, enjoy. Thank you. xxx
