Dairy-Free Golden Turmeric Latte with Espresso
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk or dairy-free milk of choice, additional milk for frothing
- 2 teaspoons honey, more to taste based on your desired sweetness
- 1 teaspoon turmeric, more for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, more for topping
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or fresh ginger
- Optional: 1 vanilla bean, scraped
- 1 shot of espresso, can omit
- Optional: 1 tablespoon collagen peptides
Directions
- Heat two cups of almond milk in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in turmeric, honey, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, and vanilla bean if adding. Heat for about 3 minutes until warm. Taste and adjust sweetener as desired.
- Remove from heat and pour into mugs of choice.
- Add a shot of espresso. Taste and adjust sweetener as needed!
- Top with frothed milk, sprinkle additional cinnamon and turmeric on top and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Black pepper activates turmeric. Use a tiny pinch or peppercorns.
- If using whole fresh ginger, fresh turmeric, or peppercorns, strain before drinking!
- For the frothed milk, I really love this milk frother. Do remember that dairy-free milk doesn't froth quite as well as regular milk!

what kind of espresso do you use? I’ve never bought espresso before. Do you buy it ground?
My machine grinds it into espresso itself! I love the Jura or the Nespresso.

Very good, really like the combination of turmeric and coffee,.It is a great afternoon “pick me up ” drink.
I’ve seen this flying around the interweb and It sounds so tasty!!
I just LOVE all of these flavors!!
For me, this is a new way of preparing golden milk. But, it’s quite simple to make, that’s what I like about it, thanks!
Just gorgeous!!
This looks unbelievable! Love a new way of preparing golden milk.
I can definitely see this becoming a morning favorite! Love it!
Thanks for sharing. I will give it a try.
A morning pick-me-up never looked so good 🙂
I’m assuming it’s ok to refrigerate any unused milk and reheat the next day?
Yes 🙂
THIS IS SO GOOD!! I was skeptical with the turmeric, but it’s delicious! I didn’t have espresso, I used half almond milk and half coffee, it was creamy, velvety, and decadent!
Just made this and it’s delicious! Will definitely make it again 😋
I really haven’t liked latte’s since I cut out cow’s milk but this one has enough flavor that I don’t taste the almond milk. I will make this again!
Have you tried hemp milk?? It’s creamy and delicious. I’ve been vegan for 36 years and don’t care for Almond Milk lattes either. 😊
Can I use cows milk? Only asking as I run out of almond milk (Sunday afternoon and shops are closed) and I have a 5 a’clock start in the morning. So I need a good kick.
