Servings: 1
Calories: 23.04kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon turmeric paste alt ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, pinch of black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1 teaspoon honey or coconut sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan, and turn on low heat.
- Whisk everything together well (or consider using a milk frother) while bringing the mixture to a light simmer for about two minutes, lowering the heat if it gets beyond a simmer. It's important to cook the mixture for a couple minutes, to make the turmeric more bioavailable, but if the heat gets too high then it can do the opposite. Also, if using homemade nut milk, heating the mixture for too long can separate the solids from the liquids, 'breaking' your milk.
- Once your two-minute timer has gone off, turn off the heat and strain your liquid through a tea strainer if using turmeric paste rather than powder. Otherwise, pour your golden milk latte into your favorite mug & enjoy!
Notes
Turmeric Stains EVERYTHING!: Whether you're using turmeric paste or dried turmeric, you'll find that its intense yellow color gets on everything and it stays there. The powder stains worse than the paste, but as long as you're careful when measuring either out, it will stain less.
Turmeric Amount: If you know you're sensitive to strong flavors or find that the flavor of turmeric is too strong for you, start with ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder per cup of milk. Texture Note: to make your turmeric milk into more of a typical golden milk latte from a café, make sure to use a milk frother to blend it up right before serving.
