Okay, this is a latte recipe you might initially be hesitant to try... but once you do you'll be HOOKED. I was once someone who thought this latte sounded strange, and now I'm golden milk latte's number one fan. I added adaptogens to this recipe for an additional mood balancing benefit (for my fellow anxious/stress-y gals), but you're welcome to omit. The golden milk latte is basically a spicy, turmeric latte. If you've seen my posts recently, you'll know that turmeric is a superfood I'm absolutely obsessed with right now. There's literally only good things that come out of turmeric.
Ingredients:
Makes one latte
- 1 c milk of choice (I like coconut milk)
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 3 cloves
- pinch of black pepper
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tsp adaptogen powder
- 1/4 c barista blend milk for foam (optional)
Directions:
- Add your milk to a pot over medium heat.
- Add the rest of your ingredients to the pot.
- Stir to combine the spices and dissolve the honey.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Froth your barista blend milk if using.
- Remove the clove from the mixture and pour into mug of choice.
- Top with the frothed milk and a little more cinnamon on top.
Trust me on this- once you try it you'll be obsessed! I like to drink mine in the morning so that the adaptogens help my mood throughout the day. If you find you're a bit anxious at night, or have trouble sleeping, this latte would be a great option for you to have as a nightcap. Enjoy and don't forget to tag and DM me if you make it!! 🤍
