This refreshing Iced Golden Milk Latte is a vibrant and healthful beverage combining the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric with warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and enhanced with a hint of vanilla, this dairy or plant-based milk latte is shaken to frothy perfection over ice, making it a perfect chilled drink for any time of day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 2-3 cups of your preferred milk, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and all the ground spices including turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and cardamom. Have ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract ready and plenty of ice on hand.
  2. Combine in Cocktail Shaker: Add the milk, maple syrup, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, black pepper, cardamom, vanilla extract, and ice into a cocktail shaker. This will help mix and chill the ingredients perfectly.
  3. Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid on the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 2 minutes. This ensures all the spices are well mixed, and the latte becomes frothy and evenly chilled.
  4. Prepare Serving Glasses: Add fresh ice cubes to serving glasses to keep the latte cold without diluting the flavor from the shaken ice.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the shaken latte into the glasses over the fresh ice, separating the liquid from the ice you used in the shaker. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and chill.

  • You can use any type of milk—dairy, almond, oat, coconut, or soy—to tailor the latte to your dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the maple syrup amount to your desired sweetness level.
  • The pinch of black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s active compounds.
  • Shake well to create a frothy, well-mixed latte.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and chill.
