Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup milk or substitute with almond, soy, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version
½ teaspoon turmeric powder fresh turmeric can also be used
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder adds warmth and depth of flavor
¼ teaspoon black pepper enhances turmeric absorption
1 tablespoon honey or swap with maple syrup, agave, or stevia for different sweetness levels

Method

Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, mix the milk, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper.
Heat: Warm the mixture over medium heat, whisking continuously until it becomes hot and slightly frothy. Do not boil.
Sweeten: Remove from heat and stir in honey (or your preferred sweetener) to taste.
Serve: Pour into a mug and enjoy warm.
Optional Garnish: Sprinkle extra cinnamon or add a dash of nutmeg for an aromatic touch.

Notes

For a richer taste, blend the mixture after heating for a creamy, café-style froth. Black pepper is key to increasing curcumin absorption from turmeric, so don’t skip it! For a stronger spice kick, add a pinch of ginger or cardamom. Let the latte cool and serve over ice for a refreshing golden drink.
