Latte. This warm and aromatic beverage is a delightful fusion of two ancient herbs, turmeric and ginger, known for their potential wellness benefits and rich flavours. Experience a cup of pure comfort that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also supports your well-being.

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)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • A sprinkle of ground nutmeg for garnish (optional)

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).

  7. Your Turmeric-Ginger Golden Milk Latte is ready to enjoy! Sip it slowly and savour the warm, soothing flavours.

Note: Turmeric has a bold flavour, so feel free to adjust the amount to your preference. Some people like a bit more spice, while others prefer a milder taste.
