This turmeric latte is a great healthy alternative to coffee. It's delicious, cozy, creamy, and made with 4 ingredients in 5 minutes!
Now that fall is finally here and the cool weather is slowly coming, I feel like having more warm and cozy drinks. And lately, I've been obsessed with turmeric latte! I promise it's the most comforting beverage ever and it tastes SO good!
In addition, this recipe only requires 4 ingredients and is ready in just 5 minutes, so you can make it even if you're in a rush. However, if you really want to enjoy an extra-creamy latte, I do suggest you use a milk frother to make it. You'll be blessed with such a foamy, comforting texture!
How to make a turmeric latte
- Pour the plant milk into a saucepan and cook over high heat until it’s hot, but don’t bring it to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, add all the remaining ingredients, and stir until well combined. I used a milk frother for the best creamy, foamy texture.
- Serve your turmeric latte immediately.
Ingredients and tips
- Unsweetened plant milk: I used almond milk because it's my favorite plant milk for this recipe.
- Turmeric powder.
- Ground cinnamon.
- Maple or agave syrup: feel free to customize your turmeric latte recipe with any other type of sweetener.
- You can serve this turmeric latte for breakfast with a couple of vegan peanut butter cookies to make it even cozier.
Turmeric latte benefits

Turmeric Latte
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened plant milk, I used almond milk
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon maple or agave syrup
Instructions
- Pour the plant milk into a saucepan and cook over high heat until it’s hot, but don’t bring it to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, add all the remaining ingredients, and stir until well combined. I used a milk frother because I absolutely love a super creamy, foamy, and cozy latte, but that is optional. You can also blend the hot plant milk with the rest of the ingredients in a blender, but using a frother is easier, cleaner, and faster.
- Serve your turmeric latte immediately. I love to have it for breakfast with a couple of vegan peanut butter cookies to make it even cozier.
- Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or the microwave until warm enough.
Notes
- Feel free to customize your turmeric latte with pretty much any sweetener you like.
- I used almond milk because it's my favorite plant milk for this turmeric latte recipe, but you can use other kinds of milk, such as cashew milk, soy milk, rice milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or even hemp milk.
- If you use sweetened plant milk, omit the maple or agave syrup.
- Turmeric is a wonderful spice, so incorporating it into your diet can be a great idea. Among other turmeric latte benefits, you'll find that it can reduce inflammation, help with digestion, and lower cholesterol levels.

It’s not Italian receipe. The original is from India.
Iosune says
Hi! Golden milk is from India, but lattes are from Italy 🙂
Rosa says
Hi. Could you make this with fresh turmeric? Thanks
Iosune says
Hi Rosa! I haven't tried it myself, but you could add some grated turmeric root to the saucepan and then blend or strain the mixture 🙂
Iain Robertson says
Sent to me by a thoughtful friend. Tried it, loved it! It's no replacement for his company, though!
Iosune says
Hi Iain! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Joan says
This was delicious, without any added sweetener. I did add some black pepper, and liked the spiciness, but I'm curious - how much pepper should you add to aid curcumin absorption?
Iosune says
Hi Joan! I just add a pinch of pepper 🙂
Natalie says
This was so nice and simple!
Iosune says
Hi Natalie! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Linda says
Doesn’t it need pepper?
Iosune says
Hi Linda! It's a good idea to add some pepper because it enhances curcumin absorption in the body by up to 2,000%, but I prefer to omit it because I don't like the taste. However, it's up to you 🙂
nikhil says
it is actually ancient Indian recipe. Our moms used to give it to us in times of soar throat, fever etc.
Iosune says
Hi Nikhil! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
Tanya Tellez says
I used coconut milk and it was great!
Iosune says
Hi Tanya! So glad you liked it 🙂
Saya says
Hi! I love golden milk and have been drinking it for weeks because of it’s inflammatory properties. I absolutely love the taste now! However I must warn you that turmeric (Curcumin) is hard to absorb and absorbs poorly without adding black pepper ! Have you read about that? Just wanted to let you know 🙂 also I’ve read to add a fat as well like coconut oil.
Iosune says
Hi Saya! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
R Morrow says
Delicious. Wish I had made it when I first heard about. Full of anti-inflammatory goodies. Comfort in a mug.
Iosune says
Hi there! Thanks a lot 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Cayla says
This isn’t first time having/making a turmeric latte but I can easily it’s the best one! Not only does it LOOK amazing and totally instagram-worthy(I had to snap a few picks) but it tastes delicious. I pretty much followed the recipe but I used honey instead of agave or maple syrup. I also blended the ingredients because I didn’t have a lot of faith in my mixing abilitis and I think the choice to blend is what made mine frothy too even though I don’t have a milk frother! Anyway, I LOVE this recipe and recommend it to everyone. It’s easy and delicious!!
Iosune says
Hi Cayla! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
LuzY says

I made it with turmeric raw, it is definitely GOOD!!!
Iosune says
Hi Luzy! Thanks a lot 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
Rosa says
I just made it with coconut milk and love it!! I was looking for something to satisfy my late night (sugary) cereal cravings and this did the trick. Thanks!
Iosune says
Hi Rosa! I'm so happy to hear that 🙂 You're so welcome!
Caitlan says
Love this! I added cardamom to mine 🙂
Iosune says
Hi Caitlan! Sounds great 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it!
iSoni says
I usually add a dab of butter. Once boiled with all the stuff, I let it sit for a minute then whisk it before I pour in cup and sip my Turmeric Latte. I only add black pepper when I have a cold no sugar.
Iosune says
Hi Isoni! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
Kami Keyser says
This latte had a great flavor.
Iosune says
Hi Kami! So glad you enjoyed it!
Tiu Tabak says
This blew my mind. I used vanilla almond milk so I didn't need the sweetener in the recipe. And I maybe added 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice because I was feeling a little festive. SO GOOD.
Iosune says
Hi Tiu! So glad you liked it 🙂
Hugo Ixla says

I love this recipe, very simple and budget friendly. A lot of recipes add unnecessary sweetener like vanilla extract. Thank you so much!

Hi Anais! Thank YOU so much 🙂 I'm happy you liked it!

Christy says
Loved this. I'm not vegan but am having to go completely dairy free due to severe dairy intolerance.
Anyways, I added a few extra spices- ginger and cardamom...it was delicious. I also used my immersion blender to make it frothy. So good!
Iosune says
Hi Christy! Thanks a lot 😀 I'm so glad you liked it!

Just made the Tumeric Latte - SOOOO good! I cut it in half, and it came out just fine. This is my new bedtime toddy!

Donna Jaffke says
I have been cooking everything from scratch these days. I save a lot of money by doing it.
I have found that most recipes are easily veganized.
I've been a vegan for almost 5 years.
I love your idea for the latte.
Iosune says
Hi Donna! You're right cooking from scratch is so inexpensive and also much healthier 😉 Hope you try this recipe!
