Why Drink Turmeric Latte?

Turmeric lattes are a fantastic way to start the day if you’re looking for an alternative to your morning coffee latte. Turmeric is caffeine-free, but it’s a great drink of choice for anyone looking to reduce inflammation in their body. Some conditions that might explore the benefits of turmeric include arthritis, chronic pain, or healing from surgery and/or an injury.

Turmeric lattes are traditional in Ayurvedic medicine that originated in India. In Hindi it means golden milk “haldi ka doodh” (“haldi” means turmeric and “doodh” means milk), so it is sometimes referred to as turmeric milk. It traditionally contains a variety of spices, including ground turmeric, black pepper, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger.

Can You Drink a Turmeric Latte Every Day? Absolutely! When you enjoy the taste of a turmeric latte, you can 100% drink it every day.

Ingredients in a turmeric latte

non-dairy – I like almond milk, but coconut milk, cashew milk, or oat milk are all great non-dairy options.

maple syrup – or another sweetener of your choice (honey is a good option)

ground turmeric– Small things have a big impact! Just a 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder is all that is needed.

Black pepper – just a pinch of black pepper. This helps improve the bioavailability of the curcumin in turmeric.

Cinammon – just a pinch of cinnamon. You can inspect this, but it’s a little less than 1/8 teaspoon.

Ground Ginger – Just like the cinnamon you just want to sprinkle with a sprinkling or a pinch.

How to make a golden milk latte

STEP 1: COOK ON THE STOVE

Place milk, turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, and ground ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk everything together, reduce heat and cook for 3 minutes. In a small saucepan, stir maple syrup (or other sweetener).

STEP 2: ENJOY!

Pour the mixture into a mug and enjoy!

How to froth milk

If you like a foamier turmeric latte, you have a few options:

Hand frother or espresso machine – Use a hand frother or the milk frother on an espresso machine once all the ingredients are mixed.

mixer – After cooking on the stovetop, puree the turmeric latte in your blender. Note that turmeric stains are present, so wash out your blender immediately.
