    Why You'll Love This Golden Milk Turmeric Latte

    • It can easily be made vegan. Golden milk is traditionally made with whole milk and honey, but you can easily make a vegan version by substituting non-dairy, plant-based milk (like almond or oat) for the whole milk and maple syrup or brown sugar for the honey.
    • The warming spices. Turmeric lattes require several spices. In addition to turmeric, you’ll need ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Together, these spices create a balanced aromatic milk that looks and tastes amazing. Plus, provides tons of health benefits too.
    • Golden milk is decaf. You won’t find any caffeine in this turmeric latte, because there is no coffee or tea — just milk and spices. In Hindi, a turmeric latte is called “haldi ka doodh,” literally translating to “milk with turmeric.” That’s why it makes a great bedtime latte!

    Benefits of Turmeric Latte

    Golden milk has natural healing and soothing properties. When you drink it about an hour before you plan to go to bed, it can help you relax before you drift into a peaceful sleep.

    Turmeric milk also has natural anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties, which can help boost immunity.

    Doctor’s note

    Some people with certain conditions or who take certain medications should talk to their doctors before adding golden milk to their regular diet.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    To make this easy Golden Milk Turmeric Latte, you will need the following ingredients (full quantities in recipe card below):

    • milk - I like using whole milk in these golden milk lattes, but feel free to use your favorite milk, whether that’s dairy or non-dairy such as almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.
    • turmeric - we use ground turmeric in this recipe. You can also substitute with 1.5 teaspoons of fresh grated turmeric.
    • ginger - this recipe calls for fresh ginger. You can also substitute with teaspoon ½ to 1 teaspoons ground ginger.
    • ground cinnamon
    • ground black pepper - helps your body absorb the turmeric.
    • honey - add a sweetener if needed. You can also substitute the honey for maple syrup if following a vegan diet.

    You will also need measuring cups and spoons, a small saucepan, and a fine mesh sieve (if using).
