ayurvedic dairy-free turmeric latte

 

Oh boy, this was delicious! I had remembered reading something about turmeric lattes a few years ago and wanted to try it in winter. This recipe was wonderful, and here it is with a few of my own tweaks. It actually made me feel really good and I felt much more energetic after I drank it. Maybe I need to try it in the morning and not at night! 

You'll need:

• 1 cup milk (I used organic soy)
• 1 teaspoon grapeseed (or other) oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 
• sprinkle of cardamom
• sprinkle of cinnamon
• ground black pepper
• 3 drops liquid stevia 

Do this:

Put everything except the stevia into a pot on the stove and gently simmer and whisk for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and drop in the stevia and then pour into a mug. I sprinkled mine with a little bit of extra black pepper. 

It's so warming, refreshing, and energizing all at the same time!
