Turmeric latte, also called golden milk, is a comforting drink with potentially many benefits to your health. Turmeric is said to have strong anti-Inflammatory properties. I love adding turmeric to curries and to any recipe that needs the bright yellow colour that otherwise eggs bring to a non-vegan recipe. In this latte however turmeric is the main star and I like to drink it for the health benefits.
Turmeric is better absorbed if it’s consumed with some freshly ground black pepper. So make sure that you don’t skip on this ingredient in the latte (I promise it doesn’t ruin the taste). Turmeric also breaks down and dissolves in fat. That’s the reason I added cashew butter to this latte. Well, that and also because it’s the secret ingredient that makes this latte super delicious and not just healthy. Medjool dates are used as a natural, refined sugar free sweetener in this latte.
You can enjoy this vegan turmeric latte warm in winter months or cold in summer months. Just know that the bright yellow colour of latte that you can see on the pictures will appear after heating the latte.

Ingredients
- 240 ml (1 cup) unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 18 g (1 tbsp) roasted cashew butter
- 1 medjool date pitted
- 1/8 tsp vanilla powder
- 1/8 tsp Ceylon cinnamon powder
- 1/8 tsp ginger powder or substitute with a piece of fresh ginger
- 1/6 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Optional topping:
- a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in a blender and mix well together.
- Warm latte on the stove but don't make it too hot. Mix while you're heating it so it doesn't stick to the bottom. If you wish to make iced latte (perfect for those hot summer days) add some ice cubes to the glass and pour the latte over it instead of heating it.
- Pour into a cup and sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired.
