Ingredients

Scale

Milk Base

  • 2 cups oat milk or unsweetened almond milk

Spices

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 cinnamon stick or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 cardamom pods
  • A small pinch ground or fresh ginger
  • A small pinch black pepper

Sweetener

  • 1 teaspoon raw honey (or coconut syrup if vegan)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Milk and Spices: Pour 2 cups of oat or almond milk into a small saucepan. Add turmeric powder, cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon, cardamom pods, ground or fresh ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Heat gently over medium-low heat.
  2. Simmer to Infuse Flavors: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes to allow the spices to infuse the milk fully.
  3. Sweeten the Latte: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of raw honey or coconut syrup until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Strain and Serve: Strain the latte through a fine mesh sieve into cups to remove the spices. Serve warm and enjoy your turmeric latte immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute any plant-based milk like soy or coconut milk if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of black pepper to increase turmeric’s absorption but keep it to a small pinch to avoid bitterness.
  • For a stronger spice flavor, grind the cardamom pods before adding.
  • Use raw honey only after heating to preserve its nutritional benefits, or substitute with coconut syrup for a vegan option.
  • Golden milk is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
