- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
- A pinch of ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the Milk
Pour 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. - Add the Spices
Stir in turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and your choice of honey or maple syrup. Add vanilla extract for a hint of extra flavor. - Whisk Until Smooth
Whisk the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the spices completely and create a creamy texture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. - Pour and Garnish
Pour the latte into a mug, straining out ginger pieces if desired. Garnish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon or turmeric for a finishing touch. - Serve and Enjoy
Sip your latte while it’s warm and comforting for the best experience.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness with more or less honey or maple syrup.
- Add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg for a festive twist.
- Use a milk frother or whisk vigorously for a frothy, café-style finish.
- A small pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric’s health benefits by improving curcumin absorption.
