Golden Paste Ingredients

Make this ahead and keep in the fridge so it is ready to go to make your latte or to add to a stir fry, on fish or any dish!

• 1 cup filtered water

Turmeric Latte Ingredients

• 1 tsp golden paste (recipe above)
• 2 cups of nut juice – almond milk or cashew or coconut etc (**almond milk is high in calcium & coconut milk higher in calories so choose depending on calorie counting)
• Maple syrup to taste (I used about 1 tsp and a half)
• Pinch of cinnamon on top for flavour and appeal 😉

Optional Ingredients: 

• Could sprinkle top with cocoa powder or nutmeg, or add honey instead of maple syrup or add 1/2 tbsp of vanilla.

Instructions:

1. Combine milk, golden paste and maple syrup in a saucepan and heat on low to medium – do not boil.
2. Pour into your fav comfy mug and sprinkle cinnamon or a dash of cayenne pepper on top and VOILA – Enjoy!  Hope you love it as much as I do 😉 XO

If making one drink from scratch without the golden paste:

• 1 cup of cashew, or almond, or coconut milk
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• ½ ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• pinch of himalayan salt
• 1Tbsp coconut oil
• 1Tbsp maple syrup
• Heat liquid in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour hot liquid into a blender and add rest of ingredients. Blend one minute of until frothy. Sprinkle with cinnamon for a little extra flavour. You can use fresh ginger and turmeric as well as dried.

Recipe Notes:

It is a lot easier to make the ‘golden paste’ and keep it in the refrigerator ready for when you would like to make your latte or add it to a stir fry, etc…

PS — Turmeric looks like ginger bulbs but super orange. 1 inch fresh turmeric = 1 tbsp freshly grated turmeric = 1 teaspoon ground turmeric. So if you want to use the fresh calculate accordingly for your golden paste 🙂
