How to make the best turmeric latte

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon honey (or any sweetener of your choice)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
• A pinch of black pepper

METHOD

Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Add turmeric powder, cinnamon powder, ground ginger, and a pinch of black pepper to the milk.

Whisk the ingredients together until the spices are well combined.

Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fragrant.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in honey or maple syrup to sweeten the taste.

Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until frothy.

Pour the mixture into a mug and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon.

Tips

• Use a high-speed blender to ensure a smooth and frothy consistency.
• Adjust the sweetness and spice level to your taste.
• For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk such as almond or coconut milk.
• Use fresh turmeric root instead of turmeric powder for a more intense flavour and even more health benefits.
