Turmeric Latte Test/Recipe

Turmeric lattes have been all the rage in the hot beverage world lately, but it never sounded appealing to me. After receiving a load of turmeric goodies from Golden Grind (no this isn't sponsored), I thought I'd give them a crack and make one myself. So today I'm going to share the recipe I followed, and give you my final thoughts on this trend.


INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups of preferred milk
• 1 tsp of Golden Grind Organic Turmeric Latte Blend with Coconut & Cacao
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 - 3 tsp honey
• 1tsp coffee grounds (optional)

DIRECTIONS

• Add al ingredients to a pot and warm the mixture on a low-medium heat until heated to your desired temperature.
• Remove from heat and pour into mugs
• If you have an electric milk frother you can use that as an additional step to give your latte froth.
• Enjoy!

FINAL VERDICT
I'm not quite sure this drink is for me. While the taste didn't have my dry retching in disgust, after a few sips I couldn't take anymore. Maybe I just need to alter the recipe and have less turmeric elements and more of the original latte, which I might give a go sometime in the future, but in the mean time, I don't think I'll be ordering any turmeric lattes. Let me know, if you tried a turmeric latte, what you thought of it. Also, keep your eyes peeled for more turmeric inspired recipes, because I have plenty of powder and I'm determined to find a use for it that I enjoy.
