Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or oat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over low to medium heat. Don't bring it to a boil; just heat it until it's warm.

  2. While the milk is warming, add the ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper to a cup or mug.

  3. Once the milk is warm, pour it into the cup or mug with the spices.

  4. Stir well to combine the ingredients. If you'd like, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to sweeten the latte. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.

  5. If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to the latte. This gives it a creamy texture and adds healthy fats.

  6. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg for extra flavour (optional).
