Ingredients

2 cups milk regular or plant-based such as almond, oat, or coconut
1 teaspoon turmeric powder use up to 2 teaspoons if desired
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 shot espresso decaf or regular

Instructions

Combine Ingredients and Heat

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, turmeric, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla, and espresso or strong coffee until smooth.
2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 shot espresso
Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it is very hot but not boiling. Keep whisking frequently so the milk does not scorch.

Adjust Flavor and Serve

Taste the latte carefully and adjust the sweetness or spice by adding more maple syrup, turmeric, or cinnamon to your liking.
Pour the turmeric coffee into two mugs and enjoy immediately while hot.

Notes

No espresso machine? Use 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water.

Storage & Reheating

Let the latte cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid or an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot but not boiling. Give it a quick whisk or froth before serving since the spices naturally settle as it sits.
