1. Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the almond milk over medium heat. You don’t want it to boil, just warm it up.
2. Add spices: Whisk in the ground turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla extract, coconut oil (if using), and black pepper. If you want extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg.
3. Sweeten: Stir in the maple syrup or honey to your desired sweetness level.
4. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to ensure the spices are fully incorporated.
5. Blend (optional): For a frothier texture, you can blend the latte using a handheld frother or transfer it to a blender for a few seconds.
6. Serve: Pour the golden latte into your favorite mug and enjoy warm. You can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or turmeric on top for garnish.
