While it may seem like everyone on the internet is freaking out that it's finally PSL season again—Pinterest has some good news for all you anti-pumpkin spice people out there. There's another latte that's becoming crazy popular online, and it doesn't contain a hint of pumpkin in it.
As of this September, Pinterest users have been saving twice as many turmeric lattes as pumpkin spice lattes to their boards. In fact, PSLs are on the downswing overall: The visual search engine/social network has seen a 15 percent decrease in pumpkin spice latte pins year over year, while turmeric has increased 99 percent during the same time. So basically, the PSL is dead and there's a new cozy fall beverage to obsess over.
So what's the deal with turmeric? Not only does it act as an anti-inflammatory, but it might prevent the growth of certain types of cancer and help prevent Alzheimer's, though experts say more research is needed in those areas.
Until Starbucks catches on and starts serving turmeric lattes, here are a few recipes you can make at home.
Golden Milk Latte
Basic Tumeric Latte
Ginger and Tumeric Latte
Vanilla Tumeric Latte
Almond Milk Tumeric Latte
Tumeric Chai Latte
