Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups (480-720 ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, or other preferred variety)
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons (4.5 g) ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) ground ginger
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 pinch ground cardamom (optional but recommended)
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
- Ice, as needed for chilling and serving
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: Add all the ingredients except ice into a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to thoroughly blend the spices, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. This helps distribute the spices evenly, ensuring each sip is flavorful with a consistent texture.
- Chill Mixture: Add ice to the shaker to chill the mixture rapidly and help blend the ingredients effectively. Shake again briefly with ice present to ensure thorough chilling without diluting the flavor if the ice doesn’t melt significantly.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the well-shaken turmeric latte mixture from the shaker into serving glasses filled with fresh ice. Straining removes any spice clumps and ensures a smooth texture in the final drink.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve the turmeric iced latte right away to maintain the spices suspended evenly and prevent settling at the bottom, which keeps the flavor balanced and the appearance appealing.
Notes
- Use your preferred milk type for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Adjust the amount of ice to chill the drink without overly diluting it.
- Cardamom is optional but adds a lovely aromatic note that complements the turmeric.
- For a vegan or dairy-free option, choose almond, oat, or other plant-based milks.
- Ensure vigorous shaking to fully blend the spices and avoid clumps.
