Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 herbal tea bags (such as ginger tea, orange hibiscus, or herbal tea of choice)
- 6 oz dairy free milk or water
- 10-12 ounces almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of nutmeg, optional
- Optional pinch of black pepper for turmeric absorbency
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or raw honey (maple syrup for vegan)
- Juice from 1 medium orange (if preferred, you can omit and just enjoy as a tea latte)
Instructions
- Steep the tea bags in 6 ounces of milk or water to ensure a highly concentrated tea.
- In a small pot, combine 10-12 ounces of coconut or almond milk with ginger, cloves, optional nutmeg, turmeric, pepper, cinnamon, maple syrup, orange juice, and optional coconut oil. Whisk the ingredients together.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse and the maple syrup to dissolve. If desired, add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Strain the mixture to remove the cloves if you used whole cloves.
- Pour 2-3 ounces of the brewed concentrated tea into a cup.
- Whisk the golden milk (the mixture in the pot) again to create a frothy texture. Alternatively, you can use a frother.
- Pour ⅓ to ½ cup of the frothy golden milk over the tea to create a tea latte.
- Store any remaining tea and golden milk in the refrigerator for later use. Reheat as desired.
Notes
Storage – Store leftovers in a sealed glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The spices will naturally settle, so shake or whisk well before serving. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each interval to prevent scorching.
Iced Version: This latte can also be enjoyed cold — just shake and serve over ice. If it thickens in the fridge, add a small splash of almond milk when reheating to loosen.
