A classic comforting, warm, and boldly spiced turmeric milk recipe with a hint of sweetness.
Also known as haldi doodh, this "golden milk" is touted for its healing, anti-inflammatory properties largely thanks to curcumin found in turmeric.
Turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for conditions such as breathing problems, joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, and more.
Modern research also suggests that turmeric is a potent antioxidant with antimicrobial and anticancer effects.
Although turmeric gets most of the spotlight, the other spices in golden milk are also health-promoting! Both ginger and cinnamon are known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.

How to make
Combine one teaspoon (per mug of latte) with a splash of milk of choice and whisk to combine. Add the remaining milk, and whisk to combine. Gently heat your turmeric latte until the milk is steaming. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
Milk: The type of milk will affect the taste and texture. For instance, coconut milk will make your latte creamier, but also add a coconut flavour. Almond and Oat Milk have a neutral flavour.
- Make it frothy: To make it frothy, use a milk frother or a blender. Note that turmeric will easily stain your blender so be sure to rinse it with soap and warm water right after using.
- Iced turmeric latte: Enjoy it iced by pouring it over a cup of ice, especially during the warmer months.
- Store for later: Pour into an air-tight glass jar and store in the fridge for a day.
