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

  1. 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).
  2. Heat the Mixture: Place the pot over low to medium heat, warming the mixture gently to avoid scorching and allow flavors to meld.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
