Mix and match and mingle any of the ingredient options! Note: If you use fresh ingredients, be sure to use the 5-Minute version, not the abbreviated heating version.
Note: You can use Coconut Milk Beverage (use one with 40 calories/cup or less) if you’re jonesing for the coconut flavor.
Yield: 1 cup
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (we used one with 30 calories per cup)
1½ teaspoons fresh grated turmeric (or ½ teaspoon ground turmeric)
½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger)
¼ teaspoon whole black peppercorns (or a pinch of ground black pepper)
1 whole cinnamon stick (or a pinch of ground cinnamon)
a dash of salt (optional)
¾ teaspoon honey (if you don’t have honey, you could use stevia to taste)
Instructions
Directions:
Combine the almond milk, turmeric, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, and salt, if using in a pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and whisk gently for 2-3 minutes to allow all the spices to release their flavor. (If using powder spices, less time is required, but 2-3 minutes works great, too!)
Strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer into a jar with a lid, if using fresh ingredients. Stir in the honey and shake vigorously to incorporate honey and create foam on the top.
*If you want it to be less like a foamy latte, just stir in the honey and serve. You can also stir in the honey and pour this over ice for an iced golden milk latte!
