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.

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 🙂
