Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ยฝ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ยผ teaspoon ground ginger or small piece fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (maple syrup for vegan option)
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cardamom or nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the spices: In a small saucepan, add turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, ground or fresh ginger, and black pepper. Stir quickly.
  2. Add the milk: Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of your preferred milk and stir well to disperse the spices evenly.
  3. Warm gently: Heat the mixture over medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring often until hot but not boiling, with steam rising and small bubbles around edges.
  4. Sweeten and flavor: Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Froth for creaminess: Use a whisk or handheld milk frother to vigorously mix the latte until frothy and smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour into a heatproof mug and optionally sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or turmeric on top.

Notes

Do not overheat the milk to avoid bitterness. Use fresh turmeric powder for best flavor and potency. Black pepper is essential to enhance turmeric absorption. If no frother is available, whisk vigorously by hand or shake in a sealed jar carefully. Adjust sweetness gradually to taste.
