Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch (about 1/8 teaspoon) black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) milk of choice (full-fat coconut milk recommended)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of ground nutmeg or cardamom (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, black pepper, and fresh ginger if using.
- Pour in 1 1/2 cups of your chosen milk and set heat to medium-low.
- Whisk continuously to blend spices and warm the milk gently for 5-7 minutes until steaming but not boiling.

- Optional: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a mug for a smooth latte.

Notes
Use medium-low heat to avoid burning spices and creating bitterness. Black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Fresh ginger adds extra zing but is optional. Clean saucepan immediately after use to prevent turmeric stains. Reheat gently on stove if needed, avoid microwave.
