Anti-inflammatory Golden Turmeric Latte Recipe

Dairy-Free Turmeric Latte Recipe

Golden turmeric lattes have become popular for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. This cozy drink is perfect for a morning pick-me-up or an evening wind-down. I also love to drink on my period to ease any cramps I might have. Here’s how you can make a dairy-free turmeric latte at home!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dairy-free milk (almond, coconut, oat, or cashew milk work well)
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (or ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger)
• 1 pinch black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup, honey, or another sweetener of your choice
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, adds richness)

Instructions:

1. Warm the Milk:
   • In a small saucepan, pour in the dairy-free milk and heat over medium heat until warm, but not boiling.
2. Add Spices:
   • Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Stir continuously to avoid clumping. You can also blend these spices in a blender with the milk for a smoother consistency.
3. Sweeten and Enhance:
   • Add the maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice) and vanilla extract if using. Stir well.
4. Optional: Add Coconut Oil:
   • For extra creaminess and healthy fats, whisk in the coconut oil until it’s fully melted and incorporated.
5. Froth (Optional):
   • For a frothy finish, use a milk frother or a hand whisk to create some foam.
6. Serve:
   • Pour the turmeric latte into a mug. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top or garnish with a dusting of turmeric.
7. Enjoy:
   • Sip and savor your warming, health-boosting turmeric latte!

Tips:

• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• If you prefer a creamier texture, use canned coconut milk or add a splash of full-fat oat milk.
• This recipe is easily customizable—adjust the sweetness and spice levels to suit your taste.

Enjoy the cozy warmth of this anti-inflammatory turmeric latte!
