Description
Golden Turmeric Latte, also known as golden milk, is a warm and soothing beverage made by blending turmeric and gentle spices into milk. This comforting drink is lightly spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper, sweetened with honey or maple syrup, and perfect for cozy mornings or relaxing evenings. It offers anti-inflammatory benefits thanks to turmeric and is easily adaptable with dairy or plant-based milks.
Ingredients
Golden Turmeric Latte Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy such as almond, oat, or coconut)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of black pepper

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the milk, ground turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of black pepper into a small saucepan.

Notes
- Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s beneficial compounds.
- Adjust the level of spices and sweetness based on personal preference.
