18 days into my dry January (no caffeine or alcohol) and 5 days into the “12 Day Real Food Reboot”, I just needed a warming beverage for my soul with this cold weather. I set out in NYC to find a turmeric latte, but every place that I stopped at either made it from a syrup (hello, sugar) or only used sweetened non-dairy milks. Since there is no sugar (natural or artificial sweeteners except fruit or dried fruit with no added sugar or sulfur) allowed on the Reboot Program, I couldn’t have any of these. This was actually a great exercise as it reminded me of why I cook and recreate recipes I love in my kitchen. It also confirmed my belief that there is hidden sugar in pretty much everything these days. This amazing turmeric latte is packed with warmth + anti-inflammatory benefits – hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
- 10 oz unsweetened non-dairy milk
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ginger
- Splash of vanilla stevia
- Sprinkle of black pepper
- Heat up non-dairy milk in a small sauce pan or pot on medium low heat for a few minutes.
- Add turmeric, cinnamon + ginger to the pot and whisk until the milk is one uniform color.
- Add in stevia + black pepper and whisk again until well blended.
- Increase the heat slightly + continue to whisk for another 2 minutes (but make sure not to let the milk burn!)
- Optional: Transfer the milk to a high power blender and place on a high speed for 30 seconds to get it extra frothy.
- Enjoy!
Hope everyone stays safe + warm in the snow today!
With Health + Happiness,
Jax
