A refreshing and anti-inflammatory Iced Golden Milk Latte made with turmeric, warming spices, and maple syrup, shaken with milk and served over ice for a vibrant, cool beverage perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2-3 cups milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 pinch ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 2-3 cups of your preferred milk, along with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and the ground spices – turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and cardamom. Also have ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract and fresh ice ready.
- Combine in Shaker: Add all the ingredients, including ice, into a cocktail shaker. The ice here helps to chill the mixture as you shake.
- Shake Vigorously: Secure the lid tightly and shake the mixture vigorously for about 2 minutes until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and the drink is well-chilled.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill serving glasses with fresh ice cubes to keep the drink cool without dilution from the shaking ice.
- Strain and Serve: Pour the shaken golden milk mixture through a strainer into the glasses over the fresh ice, leaving the shaken ice behind in the shaker. Serve immediately for the best chilled experience.
Notes
- Use plant-based milks like almond, oat, or coconut for a vegan version.
- Adjust sweetness by altering maple syrup quantity according to taste.
- Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption and potency.
- Shake well to ensure spices are evenly mixed and drink is frothy and chilled.
- This drink is best served immediately to enjoy its fresh taste and texture.
