Notes

To make the perfect golden latte turmeric milk I always gently heat the milk without letting it boil. I’ve learned that scalding the milk can completely change the flavor and make it taste off, so I always keep it on medium-low heat and watch it closely. It’s such a simple step, but it makes all the difference in creating a creamy, smooth latte that feels just like the one you’d get at your favorite café!
I love tweaking the spices to suit my mood, you can add extra cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg for more warmth. If it’s your first time, start with less and adjust as you go for the perfect balance.
I always make sure to blend until my latte is super smooth. To avoid spice grains at the bottom, blending thoroughly or straining the mix works wonders.
Whether I choose creamy whole milk or a plant-based option like almond or coconut milk, it’s all about finding what works for me. Each type of milk brings its own unique texture and flavor to the latte.
For that café vibe, I love using a handheld milk frother to create a fluffy foam on top. It adds a fun, fancy touch that makes it feel extra special!
