Golden Milk: Turmeric Latte Recipe (2026)

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 2 cups milk (dairy, oat, or coconut)
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or 1 inch fresh)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of black pepper (essential for absorption)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp coconut oil or ghee

Method

1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
2. Heat over medium, whisking constantly, until steaming (not boiling).
3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into mugs.
4. Froth with a milk frother if desired.

Why Black Pepper?

Piperine in black pepper increases curcumin absorption by 2000%. Without it, most turmeric passes through unabsorbed.
