Golden Milk (Turmeric Latte)
Golden Milk Latte, also known as Turmeric Latte, is a delicious, healthy & anti-inflammatory drink great for boosting immunity & digestion. It's warm, cozy, and easy to prepare without any caffeine.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk any works, but best whole milk for full nutrients
- 2 tablespoons honey or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground Cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, gently warm 2 cups of milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom or forming a skin. If you’re using plant-based milk, avoid boiling to maintain its creamy consistency.
- Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), whisk in the turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper.
- Stir the mixture well to dissolve the spices evenly. A whisk or a milk frother works best to ensure a smooth and creamy latte.
- Now, a few tablespoons of honey (or your preferred sweetener). Stir until fully dissolved. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. This allows the spices to infuse the milk, creating a deeper, richer flavor. This also gives the milk it's iconic yellow color. Stir occasionally to ensure the spices don’t settle at the bottom.
- Once simmered, use a fine mesh strainer to strain and pour the Golden Milk into 2 12oz mugs.
