Vegan Vanilla Turmeric Golden Milk Latte Recipe: A Healthy, Warm, Spicy & Comforting Hot Drink by Chef Gigi

Golden milk is reminiscent of a chai tea latte – both are warm, spicy and comforting! A combo of light canned (not boxed) coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk creates a creamy base for this delicious, healthful warm beverage. Coconut oil and ground black pepper have both help increase the absorption of curcumin, the beneficial anti-inflammatory compound found in healthy turmeric. If you can, try not to leave them out.

Cuisine: Indian
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups canned light coconut milk
• 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 whole cinnamon stick or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 - 1/2 tablespoon virgin coconut oil (optional)
• 1 vanilla bean, cut open and seeds scraped into milk
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• sweetener of choice (maple syrup, coconut sugar, honey or stevia), to taste 

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the coconut milk, almond milk, spices and sweetener in a saucepan. Whisk to combine and warm over medium heat, about 5 minutes. 
2. Remove from heat, taste and adjust sweetener flavor. Add more sweetener to taste or more turmeric or ginger for intense spice and flavor. Before serving, build a good froth with a whisk or use a frother to top your latte!
3. Serve immediately, dividing between two glasses and leaving the cinnamon stick behind.

Pro Tip: Add these spices for a variation of flavors. Be sure to strain before serving.

• 1 - 2 cardamom pods, crushed
• 1 star anise pod
• pinch ground cayenne pepper
• pinch freshly ground nutmeg
• pinch ground cloves
