Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (enhances curcumin absorption)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
- Heat the Liquid: In a small saucepan, combine almond milk and water. Heat over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
- Add the Spices: Stir in turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Use a whisk to mix everything well and ensure there are no clumps.
- Simmer the Mixture: Allow the mixture to heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the spices blend together and release their full flavors.
- Sweeten to Taste: Remove from heat and add honey or maple syrup, if desired. Stir well.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the latte into a mug, give it a final stir, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Whisk Continuously: To avoid clumps and ensure smooth consistency, whisk the latte while heating.
- Use Freshly Ground Spices: For a richer flavor and higher potency, opt for freshly ground turmeric and cinnamon.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare a turmeric spice mix in advance by combining all dry spices in a jar. When ready, simply add to warm milk and water for a quick latte.
- Enjoy It Cold: Let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced turmeric latte.
