Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for creaminess)
Sweetener and Flavor
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm the Milk: Pour the almond milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until hot but not boiling, ensuring gentle heating to preserve the nutrients and prevent scalding.
- Add Spices and Coconut Oil: Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and coconut oil if using. Continue whisking for 3 to 5 minutes until the mixture is fully combined and fragrant, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Add Sweetener and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract, adjusting sweetness to your preference.
- Froth the Latte: For a frothy texture, carefully blend the mixture using an immersion blender directly in the saucepan or transfer the liquid to a blender and blend for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Serve Warm: Pour the turmeric latte into mugs and serve immediately for a comforting, warming beverage.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more maple syrup or honey if desired.
- Fresh grated ginger can be used in place of ground ginger for a stronger, fresher flavor.
- For extra creaminess, substitute half of the almond milk with canned coconut milk.
- The black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s active compounds, boosting the latte’s health benefits.
