Instructions
Preparation
- In a small saucepan, pour in the milk of your choice and begin warming it over medium heat. Be sure to keep an eye on it to avoid boiling.
- As the milk warms, add in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Stir continuously to prevent any clumping of the spices.
- Stir in your choice of sweetener—either maple syrup or honey—and, if using, the coconut oil or ghee. Whisk until everything is smooth and steamy.
- For a little added fun, use a handheld frother or a whisk to vigorously agitate the mixture, creating a light foam on the top.
- Carefully pour your latte into your favorite cozy mug, top it with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a drizzle of honey, and enjoy!
