One of the belles of the ball when it comes to anti-inflammatory beverages (and coffee alternatives) is definitely turmeric milk (or golden milk or turmeric latte–depending on your choice of names).
One thing I’ve noticed, however, is that even though most recipes have the intent of helping to lower inflammation, they still have sugar in them. Usually maple syrup.
That’s why this sugar-free version is just as yummy, with just as much inflammation-busting power, but without the added sugar.
So whether you call it golden milk or turmeric milk this winter recipe is super yummy, smells amazing, and is full of anti-inflammatory superfoods—Here’s how to make easy turmeric golden latte.
The ingredients you’ll need are:
- 2 cups of coconut milk
- 1 tsp of ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1-2 TBSP keto maple syrup or granulated natural zero-calorie sweetener
- And ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- Start out with a small to medium-sized pot, and add 2 cups of coconut milk
- Turn your heat onto low to medium
- Then add the ground turmeric,
- The ground cinnamon,
- Freshly ground black pepper – this is to increase the absorption of the turmeric
- 1-2 TBSP keto maple syrup or granulated natural zero-calorie sweetener
- And the pure vanilla extract
- So next you’ll stir these together as they get warm, and you may have to smash the little clumps of the dried ingredients. I also get my little frother out and get it really mixed together and frothy.
- Simmer this up to 10 minutes, then pour into 2 mugs and enjoy!
