Description

A soothing, anti-inflammatory turmeric latte made with almond milk, warm spices, and a touch of sweetness. This golden milk is perfect for relaxing evenings or a nourishing morning boost.


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

  1. Heat the Liquid: In a small saucepan, combine almond milk and water. Heat over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
  2. Add the Spices: Stir in turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Use a whisk to mix everything well and ensure there are no clumps.
  3. 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.
  4. Sweeten to Taste: Remove from heat and add honey or maple syrup, if desired. Stir well.
  5. 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.
