- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups plain milk
- 1½ tsp ground turmeric
- pinch of black pepper and fine sea salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tsp maple syrup or honey, to sweeten
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Begin by steaming the milk until it's warm and frothy using a milk frother, or gently heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it’s nearly simmering, then whisk until frothy.
In a heatproof mug, combine your sweetener (if using), vanilla extract, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Pour in the steamed milk, holding back the foam, and stir everything until it’s well blended.
Spoon the reserved foam on top and give the latte a gentle stir.
Taste your drink and add more sweetener if desired, then serve immediately and enjoy.
