FAQs

Can I use fresh turmeric instead of ground turmeric?

Fresh turmeric can be used but will require grating and may alter the texture and strength of the latte. Ground turmeric is preferable for this mix due to convenience and consistent flavor.

Is black pepper necessary in the mix?

Yes, black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, making the latte more beneficial and improving its flavor balance.
