Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the milk, turmeric paste, and cinnamon.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and ensure the turmeric paste is fully incorporated. Heating the turmeric activates its beneficial compounds.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, but do not boil. Simmering helps infuse the milk with the flavors of turmeric and cinnamon without scalding.
Once simmering, remove from heat. The latte will have a light froth on top.
Pour the Golden Turmeric Latte into mugs. For an extra touch of warmth and flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the froth.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

If you don't have fresh turmeric, you can use turmeric powder.
For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with unsweetened almond, oat, or coconut milk. The creaminess of coconut milk pairs especially well with the earthy turmeric and warming cinnamon.
To enhance absorption of curcumin (the active compound in turmeric), add a small pinch of freshly ground black pepper to your latte.
If you’re making turmeric paste from scratch, blend turmeric powder with a little water and simmer it with a dash of ghee or coconut oil to form a smooth, concentrated paste. This can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks and used for quick lattes.
For a frothier texture, use a handheld milk frother or vigorously whisk the latte after heating.

Expert Tips

Adjust the amount of turmeric to your liking. Start with a smaller amount and gradually increase until you reach your desired flavor and color.
Experiment with other spices like ginger, cardamom, or nutmeg to create your own unique turmeric latte blend.
Sweeten your latte naturally with honey, maple syrup, or dates instead of refined sugar.

Storage Instructions

Turmeric lattes are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Gently reheat before serving.
