Notes
Recipe Pro-Tips
- Keep fresh ginger in the freezer for easy grating. Yes, frozen ginger grates a lot easier than room temperature or cold ginger. If using frozen grated ginger, measure 1 teaspoon rather than 1/2 teaspoon.
- To break up any clumped ground turmeric a matcha whisk or small sauce whisk is best. You can also use these whisks to make your latte foamy. Alternatively, a milk frother works great too.
- Be careful not to let the turmeric latte boil over. Simmer for no longer than 5 minutes.
- The spices tend to collect at the bottom of the mug. Give your mug a twirl to distribute throughout as you enjoy the drink. If the spices bother you, consider straining the latte. I do this for my 5 year old and she loves it.
