Golden milk turmeric tea, also known as golden milk latte, is a popular beverage in the wellness community. It features a generous dose of turmeric and ginger, resulting in a spicy drink with potent anti-inflammatory properties. The beverage also contains ground black pepper, which increases the bioavailability of turmeric. (In other words, it helps your body soak up the goodness of turmeric!) Here's how to make this deliciously comforting beverage.

Step 2
Heat for 5 to 8 minutes, whisking frequently, or until the ingredients are fully combined. Let cool until slightly warm before pouring into your mug.
Depending on your taste buds, you might need to adjust the ingredients. For example, you may prefer a lighter turmeric taste or a stronger ginger flavor. You can also add more sweetener, if needed.
Although golden milk latte is often enjoyed warm, you can also drink it cold. Simply shake the drink in a martini shaker with ice, then pour over ice cubes. Garnish with cinnamon or coconut whipped cream, if desired.
