How to Make a Turmeric and Coconut Milk Latte

How to Make a Turmeric and Coconut Milk Latte

This golden latte is a warm, gently spiced drink made with culinary turmeric and a coconut drink. It is a recipe for flavour and enjoyment, rather than a supplement or a treatment.

Ingredients: serves two

  • 500ml unsweetened coconut drink
  • Half a teaspoon of ground culinary turmeric
  • A quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • A quarter teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • One or two teaspoons of maple syrup, optional

Method

  1. Mix the turmeric with a little coconut drink to make a smooth paste.
  2. Add the paste, remaining coconut drink and cinnamon to a saucepan.
  3. Warm gently for about five minutes, whisking regularly. Avoid a vigorous boil.
  4. Stir in the vanilla and taste before adding optional syrup.
  5. Whisk or use a suitable milk frother, then divide between heatproof mugs.

Choose the right coconut product

A coconut drink sold for beverages gives a lighter result than canned coconut milk. Check the label and shake the carton as directed. Turmeric can settle, so give the drink a final stir before serving. It can also stain light surfaces and fabrics. This recipe uses ground culinary turmeric; follow separate pack instructions if preparing a K&M turmeric tea product.
