\"iced<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an iced turmeric latte kind of day! Let\u2019s be honest though, every day is a latte<\/a> day for me. Like many people, I look forward to drinking coffee every morning<\/a>. Though I like the taste of regular \u2018ole coffee, I really enjoy switching it up. Iced coffee with milk, bulletproof coffee, iced lattes, coffee smoothies, and yes, even a golden milk turmeric latte from time to time.<\/p>\n

Though a lot of people like it before bed, but I try not to drink too many liquids before bed and tend to prefer drinking golden milk in the afternoon.\u00a0If you love golden milk, you\u2019ll love it with a little boost of caffeine. If you\u2019ve never tried it, read on to learn more about why you might wanna hop on the turmeric latte train.<\/p>\n

\"ingredients<\/p>\n

Ingredient notes:<\/h2>\n

Coconut milk –<\/strong> I almost always use and recommend canned coconut milk (full fat or light), but milk from a carton will work for this recipe<\/p>\n

Sweetener –<\/strong> Maple syrup or honey — whatever you prefer!<\/p>\n

Spices –<\/strong> These are non-negotiable and necessary in order to properly make a turmeric latte<\/p>\n

Espresso –<\/strong> Optional! Traditional golden milk is not made with espresso, but it does put a fun spin on the recipe.<\/p>\n

Step-by-step instructions<\/h2>\n

A golden milk latte is really easy to prepare, so listen up.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Heat milk.<\/strong> Add milk, sweetener and spices to a small saucepan and whisk over medium-low heat until well combined.<\/p>\n

\"milk<\/p>\n

Step 2: Refrigerate.<\/strong> Since this is an iced drink, you’ll want to transfer the coconut milk mix to a jar or large glass and then place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until it’s cooled down.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Add the espresso.<\/strong> Before serving, pour coconut milk into 2 glasses with ice. Then, add 1-2 shots of espresso per glass.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

What is golden milk?<\/h3>\n

Be definition, golden milk is \u201ca warm beverage that utilizes the benefits of turmeric in combination with other healthy ingredients<\/a>.\u201d Traditional golden milk ingredients include turmeric, coconut milk, cinnamon, black pepper, honey, and ginger.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a difference between golden milk and a golden milk latte: the latte includes coffee\/espresso while the milk does not. You can 100% make yourself a warm glass of golden milk and drink it as-is, but since I\u2019m always trying to add coffee to everything, I opted to make a latte\u2014correction: iced latte\u2014instead.<\/p>\n

Traditional golden milk calls for ground black pepper, but since we\u2019re adding coffee I found it best to omit the pepper.<\/p>\n

What are the benefits of a turmeric latte?<\/h3>\n

Consuming turmeric has many benefits, including aiding in digestion and liver function<\/strong>, plus it\u2019s loaded with antioxidants<\/strong>. It\u2019s also been known to reduce inflammation, help with brain function and protect against heart problems<\/strong>. Honestly, we should ALL be consuming turmeric on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Can I make this without an espresso machine?<\/h3>\n

Yes! If you own an espresso machine, simply use that to make your espresso. If not, there are a few alternatives you can take.<\/p>\n
