    Enjoy a glass of chilled vegan turmeric latte on a long summer day for instant refreshment. Or sip a hot turmeric latte whenever your feeling under-the-weather, need a mood boost or pick-me-up. The sweet and spicy milky flavours are so delicious and satisfying.

    This vegan turmeric latte is a recipe from the plant-based Dr Will Bulsiewicz Fiber Fueled book, and can be ready to enjoy in less than 10 minutes. This is a no-caffeine recipe.

    turmeric latte served in large yellow mug with white pattern, yellow check tea towel and black and white tea towel.

    I bought my copy of Fiber Fueled from Audible, UK. I listened to the audio book at bedtime and the narrator of Fiber Fueled lulled me off to slumber with lots of fascinating information including what foods were amazing for gut health.

    Although I have given the book a second and third listen while I was more awake, as I was cooking dinner!

    The Amazing Benefits Of Turmeric

    I have enjoyed this turmeric latte so many times and it always gives me an energy and mood boost. So I thought I would share this recipe so more people can benefit from the goodness contained within this mug of exotic, liquid gold.

    The blend of spices, sweetness, and pepperiness that this vegan turmeric latte brings never fails to warm me up especially on a chilly day. The first sip brings instant warmness and comfort and a feeling of yes this is just what I need.

    Especially when I feel under-the-weather, have the inkling that I am incubating a cold or similar bug, or a bit down in mood, or just fancy a hot, nourishing drink then I will have one of these turmeric lattes.

    Turmeric is an excellent source of curcumin which studies have shown to have a vast range of beneficial effects.

    Also consuming black pepper with turmeric helps to increase our bodies ability to access the curcumin. So whether you have a curry don't forget to add some black pepper!

    Science based evidence have found that turmeric may be beneficial in helping some ailments especially inflammatory based disease including:

    • pre diabetes
    • cancers
    • ulcerative colitis
    • lupus
    • arsenic exposure
    • recovery from surgeries
    • Alzheimer's
    • rheumatoid arthritis
    • protect artery endothelial function (especially good for those who are less active)

    How To Easily Prepare Vegan Turmeric Latte:

    Turmeric latte ingredients added to saucepan.
    Add all the ingredients to a saucepan.
    turmeric latte ingredients mixed and simmering in saucepan.
    Whisk the ingredients with a fork and bring to the boil.
    turmeric latte brewed and ready to serve in saucepan.
    Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
    turmeric latte poured into 2 mugs, plate of cookies in front and 2 spoons, all on black and white pattern tea towel.
    Pour into mugs.

    Recipe FAQs And Notes

    How do I store leftover vegan turmeric latte?


    Leftovers can be chilled, poured into a suitable container and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Gently reheat the latte in a sauce or milk pan until piping hot.
     
    The turmeric latte may split as it sits in the fridge but can be rectified by simply stirring well to combine again. Whether the latte splits or not is dependent on the type and quality of milk used, but is not a huge problem.

    Is turmeric latte gluten-free?


    Yes.

    This turmeric latte is gluten-free but as always check all your ingredients in case any may happen to contain gluten. Especially any spice blends and plant milk you decide to use.

    Can I use this recipe to prepare a chilled turmeric latte?


    A glass of chilled turmeric latte is so refreshing on a summer day.
     
    Prepare the latte as per the instructions. The spices need to simmer in the milk to release the flavours.

    Cool and pour the latte into a suitable container and place in the fridge for at least a few hours or overnight.
     
    Pour the latte into chilled glasses with ice cubes.

    Can I add anything extra to vegan turmeric latte?


    Yes, I often do!
     
    Some ideas:
     
    * more cinnamon. I often increase the cinnamon to ½-1 teaspoon as I love the flavour

    * a cinnamon stick

    * replace the cinnamon with pumpkin spice or mixed spice blend

    * more black pepper. I love the flavour this provides and just keeping adding a little more until I have the desired taste

    * a few star anise or whole dried cloves (remove these before drinking!)

    * grated zest of lemon. lime, grapefruit or orange

    Can I prepare more servings?


    Of course!
     
    Simply double the ingredients for 4 servings or for 2-3 more hearty servings!
     
    The beauty of this recipe is that it is amazingly versatile in being able to adjust the ingredients to your own quantity and flavour preferences.

    Which plant milk is best for turmeric latte?


    Any plant milk is perfect for this recipe however a plant milk that has been proven to combine with hot drinks is best, as the potential for splitting is decreased.
     
    Any plant milk that you currently use for hot drinks is ideal. I tend to use an oat or soya milk as I find these extra creamy and hold up well for hot drinks.
     
    If any splitting does occur simply whisk back together.

    • Bring to the boil. lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes

    For an iced turmeric latter version:

    • Add all ingredients to a jar with a lid and shoogle well to combine.
      Or to extract more of the spices goodness prepare the latte as above, cool and then chill.

    Notes

     
    • Nutritional information is provided for guidance only and is not a strict calculation as ingredients vary.
    • Store leftover turmeric latte in the fridge, in a covered container, for up to 3 days. Although be careful that you don't store it in your favourite container as the turmeric can stain some materials.
    • To reheat pour back into your pan and gently heat until piping hot.
    • For an iced turmeric latte enjoy chilled poured over ice cubes.
    • Adjust the spices and sweetener to your own preferences. I often add an extra ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon as I enjoy the extra cinnamon flavour.
