Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¾ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 whole cardamom pods
- 1.5 tbsp raw honey
- ½ tsp ghee or coconut oil
Instructions
- 1
Pour milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until steaming, about 3-4 minutes. Do not boil; you want a gentle warmth that releases the aroma without scorching the milk.
- 2
Add turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and cardamom pods to the warm milk. Stir well to combine all spices evenly, then simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- 3
Remove from heat and strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve into your serving cups, catching the cardamom pods. This ensures a smooth, silky texture without grit.
- 4
Stir in honey and ghee (or coconut oil) until completely dissolved. The honey sweetens naturally while the fat creates a rich, creamy mouthfeel characteristic of authentic golden milk.
- 5
Divide between two mugs and serve hot. The latte should have a warm golden color with a frothy top; sip slowly to enjoy the spiced warmth.
