Make Hot Chocolate Look Like Liquid Gold With One Vibrant Spice
BY James Andersen
While hot chocolate is enjoyable on its own, turmeric can be a flavorful addition and even make it look like liquid gold — similar to freshly baked banana bread or cookies.
Turmeric's peppery, spicy notes and vibrant yellow color make it a popular addition to savory dishes. However, it can also boost hot chocolate.
It can impart sweet, earthy, complex flavors, and its peppery notes can add the slightest touch of heat while providing balance against chocolate's sweetness.
Turmeric also has health benefits like decreased anxiety. You can add it in several ways, such as using a half to a full teaspoon of turmeric with your store-bought mix.
