Turmeric lattes have become increasingly popular in recent years. It’s seen as something of a health drink, as more people recognise the health benefits of turmeric.
What is a Turmeric Latte?
Turmeric lattes are sometimes also referred to as ‘golden milk’. A turmeric latte is typically a vibrant golden yellow colour and features ground turmeric alongside a milk (dairy or plant-based) of your choice.
Turmeric tends to have a somewhat earthy taste, but other spices such as ginger and cinnamon are often added to turmeric lattes to add extra flavour.

Turmeric Latte Recipe
Here’s how to make a turmeric latte. If you’re planning to add one of Garden of Life’s turmeric powders, use this in place of the spices to add flavour to your drink - heat the milk as directed, then stir in the turmeric powder once you’ve removed the pan from the heat.
How to Make a Turmeric Latte
Ingredients
- 250 ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- Optional: 1 tsp maple syrup for added sweetness
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients (except for the maple syrup) into a saucepan over a low heat.
Using a balloon whisk, stir gently until the mixture begins to thicken – try not to let the liquid boil.

If you’d like a sweeter latte, stir in a teaspoon of maple syrup until combined.
Pour the drink into two mugs and finish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
