Ingredients
Scale
Turmeric Latte Mix
- 3 tablespoons turmeric, ground
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger, ground
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon, ground
- 1 teaspoon cardamom, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
Turmeric Latte
- 1 teaspoon turmeric latte mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk, steamed (dairy or plant-based milk works)
- Sweetener of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Turmeric Latte Mix: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper until evenly mixed. Transfer the mixture carefully into a small jar with a lid for storage, using a funnel if needed to avoid spills.
- Make the Turmeric Latte using Steamed Milk: Scoop 1 teaspoon of the turmeric latte mix into a mug. Steam 1 1/2 cups of milk using a steam wand on an espresso machine or an electric milk frother until hot and frothy. Add a small amount of the steamed milk to the turmeric spice mix in the mug and whisk well to form a smooth paste. Then pour in the remaining steamed milk and stir to combine thoroughly. Add sweetener if using, and enjoy immediately.
- Make the Turmeric Latte on the Stove: In a small saucepan, whisk 1 teaspoon of turmeric latte mix with a splash of milk to make a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk. Warm the mixture gently over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the latte is steaming hot but not boiling. Pour into a mug, add sweetener if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly ground spices for the best aroma and flavor.
- This spice mix can be stored in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 3 months.
- Adjust the amount of turmeric latte mix per serving according to taste preference.
- Try using different types of milk such as almond, oat, or coconut for a dairy-free version.
- Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s active compounds.
