I have made golden milk lattes for so long but I have to say, I have finally mastered my recipe and I couldn’t be more excited to share it. For a non-coffee drinker like myself, this latte satisfies my sweet, hot beverage without drinking tea all winter long. Plus, the benefits of turmeric alone are a reason to drink golden milk. Win-win-win.

This golden milk latte is frothy, sweet, and absolutely delicious. My recipe is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and full of vitamins and nutrients for natural health.

Here is my perfected Golden Milk Latte recipe:

Turmeric Golden Milk Latte

Makes 1 latte

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 3/4 cup of extra hot water
• 1 tsp of turmeric powder
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp of chia seeds (or hemp or flax)
• Splash of 100% pure maple syrup or honey
• Optional: For added froth and creaminess- 1 tsp of pea protein powder

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to blender- I use the Magic Bullet, I’ve had it for years, it’s so versatile and it still works like a charm.
2. Blend for about a minute or until frothy.
3. Sample and see if you need to add more of anything. Every mix seems to be a little different. I don’t measure things out exactly but this is my starting point. Add ingredients if necessary- normally more cinnamon or turmeric.
4. Pour contents in mug and stir.
5. Top with ground cinnamon and enjoy your delectable latte full of incredible health benefits
