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.
- 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
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
- 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.
