Optional: Cinnamon stick, star anise for infusing flavor
Optional: Coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk, turmeric powder, ginger powder, vanilla extract, maple syrup (or honey), and a pinch of black pepper. If you’re using fresh turmeric and ginger, grate them finely before adding them to the pan.
Heat Gently: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through but not boiling. Be careful not to let it scald. If you’re using a cinnamon stick or star anise, add them now to infuse their flavors.
Whisk Vigorously: Once the latte is warm, remove it from the heat. Using a whisk (or a frother, if you have one), whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes frothy and well combined. This step is crucial for creating that lovely latte texture.
Strain (Optional): If you used fresh turmeric or ginger, or if you want a smoother texture, strain the latte through a fine-mesh sieve into your mug.
Serve and Enjoy: Pour your Vanilla Almond Milk Latte with Turmeric into your favorite mug. Sprinkle a little extra turmeric or cinnamon on top for garnish, if desired. Take a moment to savor the aroma and enjoy the warmth spreading through your body.
