1. Why Everyone Is Drinking "Yellow Soup" for Breakfast
If you scroll through wellness feeds on Instagram or TikTok, you will likely see mugs filled with a vibrant, golden liquid. This is the "Golden Broth" Latte. It is a savoury evolution of the traditional Ayurvedic "Golden Milk" (Haldi Doodh). While the original uses milk and honey, this modern version uses bone broth as the base. Why the swap? Because it turns a typically sweet drink into a warm, savoury, high-protein option that fits easily into a low-sugar morning routine—perfect for the damp British climate.
The Synergy of Spice + a Little Fat
There is a practical reason for pairing broth with turmeric. The active compound in turmeric, Curcumin, is fat-soluble and is typically absorbed better when paired with a little fat. If you add the optional splash of coconut milk below (or enjoy your mug alongside a breakfast that includes some healthy fats), you give the spice a better “delivery vehicle” than turmeric on its own.
2. The Ultimate "Golden Broth" Recipe
Forget the expensive coffee shop versions full of syrup. Here is how to make the potent, savoury version at home in 3 minutes.
Ingredients:
- Collanature Bone Broth Concentrate (Natural – No-Flavour) — follow the serving guidance on the pack (many people start with 1–2 tablespoons for a lighter mug and build up to a fuller portion)
- 300ml hot water (not boiling)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground Turmeric (or fresh grated root)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground Ginger
- Crucial: A pinch of Black Pepper (helps curcumin absorption)
- Optional: A splash of Coconut Milk for creaminess.
Method: Add the concentrate and spices to your favourite mug. Pour over a splash of hot water and whisk (a milk frother works wonders here to blend the spices smoothly). Top up with the rest of the water. Sip slowly.
3. Savoury vs. Sweet: Retraining Your Palate
The biggest hurdle for beginners is the expectation of sweetness. We are used to "Lattes" tasting like vanilla. This drink is savoury. It tastes like a light, spiced consommé or a chai without the sugar. It is an acquired taste, but a deeply satisfying one. By starting your day with a savoury profile instead of a sweet one, many people find it easier to avoid the “sugar-crash” feeling that can follow a syrupy morning drink.
4. A Ritual for the Colder Months
In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, "warming" foods are often used as part of wintertime comfort rituals. The Golden Broth combines thermal heat (hot liquid) with energetic warmth (ginger, pepper, turmeric). Drinking this when you come in from the cold—or when you simply want something soothing—can feel like a small reset in a mug.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use fresh turmeric?
Yes, absolutely. Fresh turmeric root has a brighter, more peppery flavour than dried powder. However, it will stain your fingers (and your kitchen counter) yellow, so handle with care!
2. Will it stain my teeth?
Turmeric is a potent dye. While drinking it occasionally is fine, if you drink it daily, you might want to rinse your mouth with water afterwards or drink through a straw.
3. Can I make a batch in advance?
We don't recommend it. The spices can separate if left to stand too long. It takes 2 minutes to make fresh, which keeps the taste and texture better.
4. Is it spicy?
It has a "kick" from the ginger and pepper, but it isn't "hot" like a curry. It’s a warming, earthy heat that many people find soothing.
5. Can I add honey?
If you really struggle with the savoury taste, a half-teaspoon of honey can bridge the gap. If you are aiming for a lower-sugar mug, try to wean yourself off the sweetener over time.
Final Thoughts
This isn't just a trend; it's a practical upgrade to your morning routine. Swap your sweet latte for a savoury turmeric mug, and see how a warming, low-sugar start feels in your day-to-day.
