A refreshing and healthy golden milk iced latte that combines turmeric, ginger, almond milk, and honey for a delicious anti-inflammatory drink perfect for hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel about 1 teaspoon (5 grams) of fresh ginger and grate it finely.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon (2 grams) turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon (0.5 grams) ground cinnamon, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk into a small saucepan and add the grated ginger and spice mix.
  4. Warm the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 ml) of honey or maple syrup and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) of vanilla extract. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  6. Pour the warm milk through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a jar or pitcher to remove grated ginger bits and spice clumps.
  7. Allow the strained milk to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until chilled.
  8. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled golden milk over them. Stir gently to blend flavors.
  9. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top or add a small slice of fresh ginger for garnish.

Notes

Do not skip the black pepper as it enhances turmeric absorption. Use fresh ginger for best flavor. Warm the milk gently to avoid bitterness. Strain well for a smooth texture. You can substitute almond milk with oat or cashew milk. For a colder drink faster, freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and use turmeric ice cubes.
