Vegan Golden Milk Turmeric Latte
Description
The recipe gently simmers oat milk infused with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and freshly cracked black pepper to develop a rich golden color and balanced spicy flavor. The mixture is heated until hot but not boiled, then strained if whole spices are used. Coconut oil adds a smooth mouthfeel and richness, while maple syrup provides subtle sweetness if desired. The final latte can be frothed for a creamier texture.
This drink has an earthy and mildly spicy profile with warming notes and a lightly sweet finish. It is suitable as a comforting caffeine-free alternative to traditional lattes and can be enjoyed year-round.
For those new to turmeric's flavor, it is suggested to start with a smaller amount to adjust to the taste gradually.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat milk (substitute coconut drinking milk for a Paleo option)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Turmeric or 1 1/2 tablespoons of freshly grated turmeric, ground
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1 large cinnamon stick
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves or 1-2 whole cloves (optional
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom or 2-3 cardamom pods, crushed (optional
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil unrefined virgin
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Add the milk to a small saucepan over low heat. Add turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cloves (if using), cardamom (if using), and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, but do not boil. Allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes, whisking occasionally, until smooth and hot. Alternatively, you warm the milk in the microwave and then whisk in all the ingredients using a whisk or an electric frother.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. If you used whole spices, strain the golden milk over a fine mesh sieve and discard the solids. Stir the coconut oil and maple syrup (if using) into the milk. Taste and add maple syrup if needed.
- Use an electric frother to froth the latte, if desired.
Notes
- New to turmeric? Use just 1 teaspoon initially to acclimate your taste buds.
- The drink can be frothed with an electric frother for a creamier texture if desired.
