Print Recipe

A warm, nourishing turmeric latte that combines earthy turmeric, spicy ginger, and creamy milk for a comforting and anti-inflammatory boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric root, finely grated)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Measure 2 cups of your milk of choice. If using fresh turmeric and ginger, finely grate about 1 tablespoon turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon ginger.
  2. Combine spices and milk: Pour the milk into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the grated turmeric and ginger (or ground spices: 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, and a pinch of black pepper). Stir gently to combine.
  3. Warm gently: Heat the mixture until hot but not boiling, aiming for a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add sweetener and vanilla: Remove from heat. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add coconut oil or ghee if using, whisk until melted and combined.
  5. Strain (optional) and serve: Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a mug for a smooth latte or serve as is for a rustic texture. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Use freshly ground black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. Avoid boiling the milk to prevent bitterness. Fresh turmeric stains surfaces; wear gloves when grating. Adjust sweetness to taste. For frothy texture, whisk vigorously or use a handheld frother before serving.
