Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk of choice (whole milk, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of ground black pepper
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee
Instructions
- Grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger finely to release essential oils.
- Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of chosen milk into a small saucepan. Add grated ginger, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Warm the mixture on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes, whisking frequently to prevent scorching. Keep below a gentle simmer with small bubbles around the edges.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and optionally 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee. Whisk until fully combined and creamy.
- Optional: Strain the latte through a fine mesh sieve into a mug for a smoother texture, pressing gently on solids to extract flavor.
- Serve warm immediately, enjoying the golden color and lightly frothy top.
Notes
Do not boil the milk to avoid bitterness from turmeric. Use fresh ginger for best flavor; if unavailable, substitute with ½ teaspoon ground ginger. Adjust sweetness gradually. For creamier texture, add coconut oil or ghee. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours and reheat gently.
