Ingredients
Scale
Golden Milk Latte
- 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)
Vegan Whipped Cream (Optional)
- 50ml vegan whipped cream (e.g., Flora)
- 5g agave syrup
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of cardamom
Instructions
- Heat the milk and spices: In a small pot, combine the almond milk with cinnamon powder, roughly ground cardamoms, ground black pepper, freshly grated ginger, and turmeric powder. Heat the mixture gently over medium-low heat.
- Steep the flavors: Allow the milk and spices to steep together for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to infuse the flavors thoroughly.
- Strain the mixture: Pour the hot golden milk through a fine sieve into your cup to remove the solid spices and ginger pieces, leaving a smooth latte.
- Add sweetness: Stir in 2 teaspoons of agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Prepare vegan whipped cream (optional): In a bowl, whip the vegan whipped cream with 5g agave syrup until soft peaks form. Add a pinch of cinnamon and cardamom and lightly fold in the spices for extra flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Add a dollop of the spiced vegan whipped cream on top of your golden milk latte and enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can replace almond milk with any other plant-based milk such as oat or soy milk.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper to taste; it enhances the absorption of turmeric’s active compounds.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, add more freshly grated ginger before heating.
- The turmeric powder not only adds flavor but also gives the drink its distinctive golden color.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and warmth.
- Store leftover golden milk in the refrigerator and reheat gently before drinking.
