Turmeric lattes have become increasingly popular in recent years. It’s seen as something of a health drink, as more people recognise the health benefits of turmeric.

What is a Turmeric Latte?

Turmeric lattes are sometimes also referred to as ‘golden milk’. A turmeric latte is typically a vibrant golden yellow colour and features ground turmeric alongside a milk (dairy or plant-based) of your choice.

The Ultimate Turmeric Latte Recipe

Turmeric tends to have a somewhat earthy taste, but other spices such as ginger and cinnamon are often added to turmeric lattes to add extra flavour.

Garden of Life’s Turmeric Powders

Garden of Life has several turmeric powders that can be used to create a turmeric latte or another soothing hot drink.

Turmeric Latte Recipe

Here’s how to make a turmeric latte. If you’re planning to add one of Garden of Life’s turmeric powders, use this in place of the spices to add flavour to your drink – heat the milk as directed, then stir in the turmeric powder once you’ve removed the pan from the heat.

How to Make a Turmeric Latte

Ingredients

250 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
Optional: 1 tsp maple syrup for added sweetness

Method

Place all of the ingredients (except for the maple syrup) into a saucepan over a low heat.
Using a balloon whisk, stir gently until the mixture begins to thicken – try not to let the liquid boil.
Remove the pan from the heat.
If you’d like a sweeter latte, stir in a teaspoon of maple syrup until combined.
Pour the drink into two mugs and finish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
Enjoy!
