This Iced Golden Drink is inspired by the Starbucks new drinks that were launched as part of their annual spring menu. Looking at the ingredient list of the “Iced Golden Ginger Drink”, I loved turmeric being added. It’s a natural anti-biotic and so many more health benefits. So, I made the drink guessing the measurements and kids loved it. Now, I can’t wait to taste the Starbucks drink.
