Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Pinch of Black Pepper
1/2 inch Fresh Ginger, grated or finely minced
1 teaspoon Sweetener (honey or maple syrup), adjust to taste
Optional: Pinch of Cardamom
Instructions
Combine the milk, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger in a small saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently. Do not let it boil.
Simmer gently for about 5 to 7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in your chosen sweetener.
Pour the latte through a fine-mesh sieve into your favorite mug to catch any ginger pieces, if desired.
Sip slowly and enjoy the warmth.
Notes
Black pepper helps your body absorb the beneficial compounds in turmeric.
Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture, or a creamy plant-based milk like oat or cashew.
Adjust the amount of ginger based on how spicy you like your drink.
