A warm, comforting golden milk latte infused with turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper, perfect for cozy moments and packed with anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or powdered)
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure your ingredients: Gather 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or powdered), and a pinch of black pepper.
  2. Heat the milk: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk into a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat until it’s steaming but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add spices: Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Keep whisking to avoid clumps and to blend everything evenly.
  4. Simmer gently: Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
  5. Sweeten and flavor: Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Taste and adjust sweetness as you like.
  6. Strain (optional): For an ultra-smooth latte, pour the mixture through a fine sieve into your favorite mug. Skip if you prefer texture.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Sip slowly and enjoy the warm, spicy comfort. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top.

Notes

Do not boil the milk to avoid a flat taste or burnt spices. Whisk continuously to prevent turmeric clumps. Black pepper is essential for turmeric absorption. Adjust sweetness to taste. For creamier texture, use full-fat milk or add coconut cream. Can be chilled for a cold latte or combined with espresso for a caffeine boost. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat gently.
