VANILLA TURMERIC GOLDEN MILK LATTE

PREP: 3 MINUTES
 
COOK: 12 MINUTES
 
TOTAL: 15 MINUTES

Health benefits of turmeric aside, a mug of this comforting turmeric tea is also just the perfect way to cozy up at the end of a long day. I think it’s reminiscent of a chai latte – warming and a bit spicy. Take this recipe and customize however you’d like! The options are pretty much endless.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon honey, to taste (can sub pure maple syrup for vegan version)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (can sub 1-2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger, to taste)
1 5-inch cinnamon stick (can sub 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)*
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS
Add with the other spices, at the beginning of the process.

Pinch freshly ground black pepper (optional)*
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and entire bean added
2-3 cardamom pods, crushed
1 star anise
Pinch ground cayenne pepper
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
Black peppercorns

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Set a small saucepan over low heat. Add the almond milk, 1 teaspoon honey, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon stick, and black pepper and stir with a whisk until combined.
  2. Bring to steaming, just below a simmer. Do not let it come to a boil. Keep just below a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Remove the cinnamon stick. If you added other spices that need to be strained out, strain using a fine mesh strainer then return to the pan. Stir in the vanilla and coconut oil (if using). Taste and add additional honey if desired (I like about 2 teaspoons).
  4. Use a frother to froth the tea, if desired. Pour into a mug and spoon the froth over the top. Serve.


* Coconut oil and ground black pepper have both been found to help increase the absorption of curcumin, the beneficial anti-inflammatory compound found in turmeric. I usually include both for this reason.

VEGAN OPTION:
Use pure maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten.

Decadent Milk Tea with Brown Sugar

By
Make your tea time creamy and sweet with milk tea. Super simple and delicious, my milk tea recipe is made special with half and a half and brown sugar. Milk Tea What is milk tea? In it’s most basic form, it’s tea with milk. That’s it. Oh, but wait, there’s more. Sure, you’ve got tea with a splash of milk but milk tea comes in a lot of different forms. When you add milk to an Earl Grey or English Breakfast, you’re drinking milk tea. Instead of cold milk, add frothed warm milk and you’ve got yourself a tea latte, which is milk tea. Add some boba balls to your milk tea and you’ve got a boba or bubble tea. Get some spices and black tea and you’ve got chai, an Indian version of milk tea. There’s also the popular Hong Kong-style milk tea which is made with evaporated or condensed milk. And finally, we have my version which is made with half & half and brown sugar. Smooth, sweet and creamy, just as milk tea should be. To Make This Milk Tea Assam black tea You can also use

Orange Brown Sugar Sweet Tea

By
#1: Grab the vegetable peeler and an orange and let’s get started.  Hold the orange firmly in one hand and, with the other hand, cut away the orange peel (the very outer, orange skin of the orange).  If you get a little of the white peel, the pith (remind anyone of Ethel Thayer?) it isn’t a big deal. #2: “Muddling”.  All it means, in this instance, is to mash an orange slice into the tea.  Right before serving the tea, place one half of an orange slice in the bottom of each glass and muddle, or mash, the orange to release the juice and oils.  Since I don’t own a muddler, I use the rounded end of my wooden spoon.  Muddle with slight force; just a couple of pushes and twists should be enough.
