Ingredients
- 250 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 small piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch of ground black pepper
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- A dash of vanilla extract (optional)
Steps
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, turmeric, grated ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the spices are well mixed into the milk.
- Continue to simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse their flavors into the milk.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh to remove the grated ginger.
- Stir in the honey or maple syrup, adding more to taste as desired. If using, add a dash of vanilla extract for a warm aroma.
- Pour the Golden Milk Latte into a mug. If you prefer froth, you can whisk the latte rapidly for a minute or use a milk frother.
