Equipment

  • Small Saucepan: For gently heating the milk and blending the spices.
  • Whisk: To mix the spices evenly into the milk and prevent clumps.
  • Measuring Spoons: For accurately measuring the turmeric, spices, and sweetener.
  • Milk Frother or Blender (Optional): To create a frothy, café-style texture.
  • Mug: Your favorite mug to serve the turmeric latte.
  • Strainer (Optional): If using fresh turmeric or spices, you might want to strain the mixture for a smoother drink.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk alternative)
  • 1 Tsp Ground turmeric
  • ½ Tsp Ground cinnamon
  • ¼ Tsp Ground ginger
  • 1 Pinch black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
  • 1 Tbsp Maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • ½ Tsp Vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1 Tsp Coconut oil (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 Pinch ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Your Base:
    In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  • Mix the Spices:
    Add turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper to the warm milk. Whisk thoroughly to combine and ensure there are no lumps.
  • Sweeten and Flavor:
    Stir in maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and coconut oil if using. Whisk well until the coconut oil melts and the mixture is smooth.
  • Simmer to Perfection:
    Reduce the heat to low and let the latte simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Blend for Froth (Optional):
    For a café-style frothy latte, pour the mixture into a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds. Alternatively, use a handheld frother.
  • Serve:
    Pour the golden latte into your favorite mug, sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg, and enjoy warm.

Notes

Make Ahead and Storage

Make Ahead: You can prepare a turmeric latte mix by combining the dry spices (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper) in a small jar. When ready to make the latte, add 1 teaspoon of the mix to warm milk and follow the steps above.
Storage: Store leftover turmeric latte in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave before serving. If it separates, simply whisk or blend to recombine.
