Turmeric has held a place in traditional wellness for centuries, and it continues to shine as a natural anti-inflammatory. If the taste isn’t usually your cup of tea, this smooth latte might change your mind—especially with the added benefits of ginger and coconut oil to enhance absorption.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1-2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- A dash of vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- ½ – 1 tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil
- Honey or stevia to taste
- Pinch of organic black pepper
Method
Add two parts turmeric with 1 part boiling water and mix well. If you’re new to the taste of turmeric, start with one teaspoon and build up.
Gently warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan, taking care it doesn’t boil.
Add the turmeric paste, ginger, vanilla, cinnamon and ground cardamom.
Combine the coconut oil with the mixture and gently heat together until melted.
Use a wire whisk or stick blender to create a foam. Continue to stir until frothy and heated through.
Stir in honey or stevia to taste. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon (or ground cardamom).
