What is golden milk latte?
Golden milk is typically made as a warm drink that is used in many other countries as a way to boost health while also drinking a truly delicious beverage. Some people make this as almond milk latte while others use oat milk.
ingredients to make a ginger turmeric latte
- Creamer or milk: Adding in almond milk or oat milk are the two most popular types of milk used but you can also use creamer or half and half as well.
- Sweetener: Natural sweeteners like honey or a plant based sweetener add the perfect kick of sweetness to your cup.
- Spices: Turmeric is the most important spice for making a golden milk latte and it’s what gives it that rich robust yellow color. However any other warm spices like cinnamon and ginger work really well. You can also add a little heat by adding black pepper that helps to activate turmeric or cayenne.

tips for making homemade turmeric latte
- Check that your spices aren’t stale for maximum flavor and benefits. Rub a little of the spice between your fingers, if there is only a faint aroma it’s time to get new spices.
- Made an iced turmeric latte! I love drinking this hot but you can easily add some ice and cool it down a bit, too.
- Whisk it well. If you do use a whisk, make sure that you whisk it well and fast. To get that frothy texture, you need to whisk quickly.
- Don’t forget to garnish. The added little pinch of cinnamon on top really enhances the flavor!

Hi there!
I’m anxious to try this recipe! I would like to use fresh ginger and turmeric. Not sure how much of each to use. Thank you!
I can’t wait for you to try this! I would estimate to use 1 tablespoon of fresh-grated ginger and roughly 1.5 centimeters of fresh turmeric root. Let me know how it goes!
