- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger (or fresh ginger, grated)
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- Pinch of cardamom
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Collagen or protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add milk, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper to a small saucepan.
- Warm Gently: Warm the mixture gently over medium heat, whisking often to blend the spices without boiling the milk.
- Sweeten and Flavor: Stir in honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract to sweeten and add depth of flavor.
- Froth (Optional): Froth the latte if desired to achieve a creamy, café-style finish.
- Serve: Pour the warm turmeric latte into a mug and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For stronger spice, increase turmeric to ¾ tsp and ginger to ¼ tsp.
- Vegan option: use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
