Turmeric Golden Milk Latte With Oat Milk
Done in under 10 minutes, we promise this Desi~licious golden milk latte will become your new favourite way to enjoy coffee. A twist to the regular golden milk, this warm and soothing elixir, is packed with nourishing nutrients and is super simple to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat milk, or any milk of your choice
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp maple syrup, or another sweetener of choice
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 1/2 inch ginger, fresh
- 1 tsp instant coffee granules
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, except coffee granules, into a small saucepan. Heat on a medium-high heat whilst whisking with a balloon whisk. This will ensure you get a nice thick froth
- Heat until the milk mixture is very hot, but not boiling
- Add the coffee granules and stir well to mix well
- Pour into two cups, sprinkle with pepper and enjoy
Notes
- You can use any variety of milk you prefer. I opt for what’s available at home and tend to alternate between coconut and soy milk.
- If you have fresh turmeric, by all means you can use that instead of powder, but I find the powder emits more flavour.
- As odd as it may sound, the black pepper is an important addition; it helps to increase the bioavailability of curcumin – the active compound in turmeric that’s touted for innumerable health benefits.
- In other words, the compound piperine in black pepper increases the absorption of curcumin. Let’s not forget it. You can choose any way to sweeten this golden milk turmeric coffee – maple syrup, honey, agave or enjoy without any sweetness. The spices help distract your taste buds from the sweetness.
