Ingredients
Scale
Milk and Spices
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- pinch of black pepper
Sweetener and Garnish
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- dried rose petals (for garnish)
- ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, fresh ginger, and black pepper until well combined to create the base of your golden milk.
- Heat and Simmer: Place the saucepan over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the spices to infuse the milk.
- Sweeten: Turn off the heat and stir in the honey if you prefer a sweeter latte. Mix thoroughly to dissolve the honey into the warm milk.
- Strain and Serve: Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the turmeric milk into two cups to remove the ginger pieces and any undissolved spices for a smooth texture.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon and dried rose petals to elevate the aroma and presentation before serving your warm, soothing turmeric latte.
Notes
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits.

- Almond milk can be substituted with any other plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or omitting it entirely for a savory version.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the latte warm and fresh.
