Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or fresh turmeric root, grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, or coconut milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, grated fresh ginger (or ground ginger), and a pinch of black pepper with 1 cup of your chosen milk. Stir gently to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and warm the mixture slowly, whisking regularly to prevent clumps. Heat until just below simmering, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid boiling.
- Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup and coconut oil or ghee if using. Add vanilla extract if desired.
- Use a whisk or milk frother to blend and aerate the latte until frothy. Optionally, strain out ginger bits before frothing.
- Pour into a mug and garnish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon or turmeric powder. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.
Notes
Use low heat to avoid bitterness and grainy texture. Whisk frequently to prevent clumps. Black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Fresh ginger adds brightness but can be strained out if preferred. Adjust sweetness to taste. Coconut oil or ghee improves turmeric benefits and texture. Froth well for a café-style experience. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 48 hours and reheat gently.
