Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ยฝ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ยฝ teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup/agave nectar for vegan option)
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • ยผ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ยฝ teaspoon coconut oil or ghee (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine dry spices: In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon turmeric, ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper, and if using, the grated fresh ginger.
  2. Warm the milk: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your preferred milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the spice mix: Whisk the turmeric-cinnamon-ginger blend into the warm milk. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fully incorporated and fragrant.
  4. Sweeten: Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 teaspoons honey, adjusting to taste. Add ยผ teaspoon vanilla extract and ยฝ teaspoon coconut oil or ghee if using, whisking until smooth.
  5. Strain (optional): Pour the latte through a fine mesh strainer into your mug if you used fresh ginger or want a silky smooth texture.
  6. Froth and serve: Use a handheld frother or whisk vigorously to create light foam on top. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Keep heat low to avoid bitterness. Whisk continuously while warming to prevent clumping. Black pepper is essential for turmeric absorption. Fresh turmeric powder has brighter flavor. Toasting spices briefly before adding milk can deepen flavor but watch carefully to avoid burning.
