Equipment

Small saucepan
Whisk
Measuring spoons
Optional: Blender or milk frother for extra creaminess

Ingredients

For one serving of this turmeric latte:

1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
1 teaspoon high-quality ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch of black pepper (helps with turmeric absorption)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1 cardamom pod, crushed
Optional: 1 shot of espresso (for turmeric coffee latte variation)

Instructions

Heat Your MilkStart by warming your chosen milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Don't let it boil – you want it just starting to steam.
Add the SpicesWhisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. The key to a smooth turmeric latte is continuous whisking to prevent the spices from clumping.
Simmer and BlendLet the mixture simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. For an extra frothy golden milk latte, you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
Sweeten and ServeStir in your chosen sweetener while the drink is still hot. Pour into your favorite mug and sprinkle with an extra dash of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Black pepper is crucial in this recipe – it helps your body absorb the beneficial compounds in turmeric up to 2000% more effectively. Don't skip it, even if it seems unusual in a drink.
