Golden Latte

Golden latte—also known as turmeric latte or “golden milk”—is inspired by Ayurvedic traditions and loved for its warming, comforting vibe. Its beautiful golden colour comes from turmeric, a spice celebrated for its antioxidant potential and its role in supporting overall wellbeing. Smooth and soothing, golden latte is perfect for a cosy pause—especially when you want something gentle and nurturing.

With turmeric, black pepper, and ginger, golden latte is both delicious and naturally uplifting. It’s often enjoyed to support digestion and everyday balance. Here’s how to make this feel-good drink at home.

Prep time:

5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of milk of your choice (almond, coconut, dairy, etc.)
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or freshly grated)
• A pinch of ground black pepper
• 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for flavour)
• 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, to help turmeric absorb better)

Method:

1. Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat your milk over low heat. Avoid boiling.
2. Add the spices: Once warm, add turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon (if using), and coconut oil (optional). Whisk well until smooth.
3. Sweeten to taste: Add maple syrup or honey if you’d like it slightly sweeter.
4. Serve hot: Pour into a mug. For a pretty finish, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.

Tip:

For best results, include a source of fat (like coconut oil or full-fat milk). Black pepper is also key, as it helps your body make better use of curcumin, the star compound found in turmeric.

Nutritional value:

Golden latte is naturally rich in antioxidants from turmeric and ginger. With black pepper and a little fat, it becomes an especially supportive drink to enjoy as part of a balanced routine.

When to drink it?

Perfect for a relaxing break in the evening or before bed, thanks to its cosy, soothing character. You can also enjoy it in the morning as a warm, gentle start to the day.

Which diets does it fit?

This recipe suits a vegan diet when made with plant-based milk (almond, coconut, oat, etc.) and maple syrup instead of honey. A lovely option for anyone looking to support daily digestion and wellbeing with a comforting drink.

Enjoy!
