How To Make Turmeric Latte

Alongside turmeric, you will also need to add a dash of ground cinnamon and ground ginger. A pinch of nutmeg also delivers incredible flavor to this latte. The one element that gives this turmeric latte its depth of flavor is a light sprinkle of ground black pepper. It plays a huge role in this recipe by helping with the activation of ground turmeric.
Bring the milk to a simmer to let it get infused with the spices. Eventually, the milk will get a gorgeous golden color from the turmeric. After removing if from the stove, stir in some honey or maple syrup to add sweetness. And that’s it!
