Vegan Turmeric Latte
This vegan turmeric latte, with its bright and fresh flavors, is invigorating and refreshing. Containing just turmeric, ginger, plant milk, and a touch of maple, it’s extremely simple to make. You can drink it any time of day, hot or cold, and it’s sure to be delicious and comforting.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 cups plant milk unsweetened
- 4 teaspoons fresh turmeric minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
For a hot drink:
- Pour the plant milk into a microwave-safe glass or bowl. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes until steaming but not boiling. Combine the plant milk, turmeric, ginger, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the texture is smooth. Pour into glasses or glazed mugs and serve immediately.
For a cold drink:
- Combine the plant milk, turmeric, ginger, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the texture is smooth. Pour into glasses immediately. Chill drink in refrigerator as needed.
Notes
You should wash your cooking surfaces (cutting board, blender bowl) immediately after removing the turmeric from it, to prevent staining.
Be careful not to get the turmeric root or the finished drink on your clothes.
You can also use sweetened plant milk. In this case, you may need less maple syrup than prescribed.
Though I absolutely recommend using fresh turmeric and ginger if you can acquire them, you can use 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder and 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder as replacements.
