If this is your first time trying a turmeric latte, then get ready to be amazed. In fact, get ready to potentially find a 'decaffeinated' replacement to your morning coffees that makes you feel amazing. This turmeric latte recipe is an absolute treat. It's extremely easy to make and can be made at home within just a few minutes. The only equipment you'll need to use to make this turmeric latte is a small saucepan and a stove. If, for whatever reason, you don't have a stove or a saucepan, you could also use a microwave by adding all the ingredients into a mug before warming it up in the microwave.
However, if, like most people, you have access to a stove, then I highly recommend following the steps outlined below. I spent over 2 weeks drinking turmeric lattes every day to try and perfect this recipe; so I know you'll love it! Please note that turmeric can stain quite easily; so please be careful when handling it to make sure none of it gets onto your clothes.
Taste & Consistency
This turmeric latte recipe tastes different to anything you will have ever tasted before. The combination of ginger, turmeric and cinnamon give it an exotic taste that calms your soul with every sip. With both a sweet and savoury flavour, this earthy turmeric latte is sure to cause a taste bud explosion in your mouth.
Dairy Free & Vegan
This turmeric latte recipe is both dairy free and vegan. With the use of almond milk, there's no dairy in this recipe. If you're not a fan of almond milk, you're more than welcome to exchange the almond milk for any other kind of milk. I've personally found that the almond milk enhances the nutty, earthy taste of this easy to make, turmeric latte; but at the end of the day, it's completely up to your personal preferences.
If you're looking for a non-dairy alternative to almond milk to use in this recipe, I'd recommend using oat milk.

Hot Tips & Conclusion
If you haven't yet had a turmeric latte, I recommend you start small on the turmeric and gradually increase the amount you use with every latte. You'll find that, often, the turmeric doesn't completely dissolve in your latte and there will be a small amount of sediment of the bottom of you drink. Be warned that if you're not accustomed to the taste of turmeric, it may be wise to avoid taking that last sip (that has all the turmeric sediment). I personally always drink this sediment, but I understand that it's not for everyone.
