Our favorite vehicle for turmeric is this Ayurvedic-inspired golden latte, which is blended with ginger, cinnamon, honey, coconut oil, and unsweetened almond milk.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, preferably homemade

  • 1 inch fresh turmeric, thinly sliced, or ¼ teaspoon ground dried turmeric, plus more ground dried turmeric for serving

  • 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced, and smashed

  • Pinch of ground cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons unrefined virgin coconut oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

Directions

  1. Heat almond milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, coconut oil, and honey in a small pot over medium until just simmering. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; strain and discard solids. Whisk while warm until frothy, or serve chilled over ice. Sprinkle with ground turmeric before serving.

Cook's Notes

Homemade almond milk takes this simple recipe to the next level: Soak 1 cup raw almonds overnight in a bowl of water in the refrigerator; drain. Add to a blender along with three cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed for one minute. Strain through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth or a nut bag. The almond milk will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
