Servings Latte

Ingredients

1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
1 tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
½ tsp coconut oil
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 dash vanilla extract optional

Instructions

Add the milk, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, black pepper, and vanilla (if using) to a small saucepan.
Warm over medium heat, whisking frequently until the spices are well combined and the milk is hot. Don't let it boil.
Remove from the heat and use a handheld milk frother to create a creamy, foamy finish. No frother? Give it a vigorous whisk instead!
Pour into your favourite mug, sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon if desired, and enjoy while warm.

Notes

Start with less turmeric: If you're new to golden milk, use ½ teaspoon and work your way up to the full teaspoon.

Use ground spices: This recipe is designed for ground turmeric and ginger, not fresh roots.

Don't boil the milk: Heat gently until hot and steaming to prevent scorching.

Froth just before serving: A handheld milk frother gives you the creamiest, foamiest finish.

Give it a quick stir: Ground spices naturally settle at the bottom of the mug.

Making it ahead? Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, whisking well before serving.
