What is a Golden Latte?

A Golden Latte, also known as a Turmeric Latte or Golden Milk, is a warm and comforting beverage that has its roots in ancient Ayurvedic practices.

This vibrant drink gets its signature golden hue from turmeric. Turmeric is a potent spice that has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine.

Health Benefits of this Recipe?

Make a Golden Latte for its health benefits.

Turmeric, the star ingredient in this latte, is a true superfood that has been revered for centuries in traditional medicine. Rich in curcumin, a potent antioxidant, turmeric has been linked to numerous health benefits, including:

• reducing inflammation,
• improving brain function, and
• even potentially lowering the risk of heart disease and cancer.

In addition to the benefits of turmeric, this Golden Milk Latte packs a punch with other nutrient-dense ingredients. Black pepper, for instance, enhances the body's absorption of curcumin, amplifying the health benefits of turmeric.

Ginger and cinnamon, on the other hand, offer their own unique advantages, such as aiding digestion and regulating blood sugar levels.

Make this Recipe for A Taste of Warmth and Comfort

As you sip on this golden elixir, you're sure to be enveloped in a warm embrace of comforting flavors: The earthy notes of turmeric,

the zesty kick of ginger, and

unite to create a harmonious flavor for your palate.

Moreover, this dairy-free Golden Milk Latte offers a delicious and comforting alternative to coffee or tea.

Why Use JOI in this Recipe?

At the heart of this latte is JOI milk concentrate, a versatile and creamy dairy-free alternative to cow's milk.

Prepared JOI milk (made from JOI almond, oat, cashew, hemp or oat creamer) provides a rich, velvety texture. This creamy base perfectly complements the warm spices in this recipe.

Plus, JOI is free from additives and preservatives commonly found in grocery store plant milks.  This ensures you're sipping on pure, wholesome goodness. JOI milk offers a clean-label, nutrient-dense alternative.

Moreover, because JOI is a concentrate, you add the water. This translates to reduced packaging waste and an improved carbon footprint.

Substitutions and Customizations for this Recipe

One of the beauties of this recipe is its flexibility.

Don't have maple syrup on hand? Swap it out for your favorite sweetener, like honey, date syrup or agave nectar.  Or leave it out altogether.

Prefer a different plant-based milk? JOI offers a variety of options, including oat milk, almond milk, and cashew milk.

Make it hot or cold.

Skip any spice that is not already on your rack; or consider using fresh ginger or turmeric for a change.
