Ingredients
Milk Base
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk (almond milk recommended)
Spices & Flavorings
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch black pepper
Sweetener & Optional
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (can substitute with stevia)
- 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Pot: Pour the light coconut milk and non-dairy almond milk into a pot. Add the ground turmeric, cinnamon, ground ginger, vanilla extract, black pepper, and your chosen sweetener (maple syrup or honey).
- Heat the Mixture: Place the pot over low to medium heat, warming the mixture gently to avoid scorching and allow flavors to meld.
- Whisk or Blend Spices: Use an immersion blender, milk frother, or a whisk to vigorously blend the ingredients, ensuring all the spices are thoroughly incorporated and the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined.
- Bring to Warmth and Froth: Continue heating until the mixture is warm and steamy. Whisk or blend again to create a light froth on top. Taste the latte and adjust sweetness or spice levels as desired.
- Serve: Pour the golden milk into mugs. Since the spices tend to settle, if you prefer, strain the latte through a fine mesh strainer to remove any sediment for a smoother drink.
Notes
- Use fresh turmeric powder for the best flavor and benefits.
- Adding a pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption.
- For a creamier texture, lightly shake canned coconut milk before opening.
- Adjust sweetness according to your preference; stevia is a good low-calorie sweetener alternative.
- Optional collagen peptides can be added for an extra protein boost without altering flavor.
- This latte is best enjoyed warm but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
