This Turmeric Latte Mix recipe is a vibrant and aromatic blend of warming spices designed to create a comforting and healthful beverage. Featuring turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper, this mix can be combined with steamed milk for a soothing latte that’s perfect for any time of day. Easy to prepare and store, the mix allows you to whip up this golden latte quickly, ideal for those seeking a flavorful caffeine-free alternative.

Ingredients

Spice Mix

  • 3 tablespoons turmeric, ground
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger, ground
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon, ground
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground

For Serving

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric latte mix
  • 1 1/2 cups milk, steamed (dairy or plant-based)
  • Sweetener of your choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spice mix: In a small bowl, combine the ground turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly blend the spices.
  2. Store the mix: Transfer the blended spice mix to a small jar with a lid for easy storage and use. Using a funnel can help avoid spills during transfer.
  3. Make the latte with steamed milk: Scoop one teaspoon of turmeric latte mix into a mug. Steam the milk using a steam wand or an electric milk frother until hot and frothy. Add a small amount of steamed milk into the mug to whisk with the turmeric mix, ensuring it dissolves well. Pour the remaining milk into the mug and stir. Add sweetener if desired.
  4. Alternative stovetop method: In a saucepan, whisk one teaspoon of turmeric latte mix with a splash of milk until combined. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk and gently warm over medium-high heat until steaming but not boiling. Pour into a mug and sweeten if preferred.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk (almond, oat, coconut) to make a vegan-friendly turmeric latte.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your preference or omit for a naturally spiced beverage.
  • Ensure milk is steamed or gently warmed to avoid scorching the spices or milk proteins.
  • Store the mixture in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness for several weeks.
  • Black pepper is essential to enhance the absorption of curcumin from turmeric.
