When you feel like life is happening at a pace you can’t sustain, and you’re about to boil over, pause and make yourself a cup of this soothing and grounding turmeric latte. Turmeric and ginger both have a long list of health benefits, but this recipe is every bit as delicious as it is good for you. Enjoy!
Turmeric Latte Ingredients
- 1 knob of fresh grated ginger (frozen ginger grates more easily!)
- 1 knob of fresh grated turmeric (use 1.5 teaspoons powder if you can’t find fresh)
- 2 cups of almond milk
- 1/2 cup of filtered water
- 5-7 turns of fresh ground black pepper
- honey, maple syrup, allulose, or stevia to taste
How to Make a Turmeric Latte
- Rinse ginger and turmeric under cold water.
- Grate a thumb-sized piece of each into a saucepan.
- Add almond milk, water, and black pepper.
- Warm gently (don’t boil) for ~5 minutes until deep orange.
- Strain into your favorite mug.
- Add sweetener to taste.
- Optional: Froth milk or sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Ginger packs some heat, so go easy if you’re not sure whether you like fresh ginger!
Note: Your hands may turn a beautiful hue of orange when working with raw turmeric root. Try using our Coffee Mint Soap to remove the stains gently.
Another note: don’t forget the black pepper—the curcumin in black pepper unlocks the health benefits of turmeric. Curious how that works? Read this.
With love and a golden-milk-filled mug,
