Golden Milk

Antioxidant powerhouse turmeric gives this latte its beautiful, vibrant color. Turmeric imparts a subtle, earthy flavor to this drink, which is perfect when paired with sweet, creamy coconut milk.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups + 1 tbsp unsweetened soy milk (replace with any unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice)
• 1 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 soft pitted Medjool dates
• A pinch of black pepper
• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2 1/2 tbsp + 1/2 tsp brewed espresso (optional) (swap for strong pour-over coffee)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth.
2. Pour this mixture straight into a saucepan. If your blender isn't very powerful, or if you don't like small fibers to remain in your drink, strain the mixture first when pouring it into the saucepan.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer on medium-high heat, stirring throughout to prevent burning. Taste test and add maple syrup if you'd prefer the drink sweeter. To turn it into a turmeric latte, add in some brewed espresso if desired.
4. When warmed through, pour into mugs, sprinkle on a bit of cinnamon, and enjoy!

Notes

Aim to use plant-based milk that is fortified with calcium.  

If you don't have a blender, simply substitute 2 dates with 1 tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup.

Contains: Soy (can be eliminated by swapping for any other plant-based milk).
