Ingredients

250ml unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp (5g) cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp (2.5g) roughly ground cardamoms
1/4 tsp (1.25g) ground black pepper
10g freshly grated ginger
1 tsp (5g) turmeric powder
2 tsp agave syrup (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small pot, combine the almond milk with cinnamon, cardamoms, black pepper, grated ginger, and turmeric powder.
Step 2: Heat the mixture gently and let it steep for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to infuse the flavors.
Step 3: Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into your cup to remove the spices and ginger bits.
Step 4: Stir in agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Step 5: Optionally, top with vegan whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cardamom, then enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use coconut milk or oat milk instead of almond milk for a different creaminess.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
Freshly grate ginger just before making the latte to keep the taste lively and bright.
For a richer treat, use vegan whipped cream sweetened with a bit of agave syrup and spiced with cinnamon and cardamom.

Storage

Golden Milk Latte is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain the spices’ infusion.
