Keto Golden Turmeric Iced Latte

A summer twist on an anti-inflammatory classic. It always make me laugh why a golden milk latte is called a latte because it doesn’t contain any coffee! Turmeric is way better for you than coffee anyway.

Turmeric is a powerful adaptogen and just like ginseng, green tea, maca or ashwagandha, it’s great for your health in so many ways (More about health benefits is in the original recipe for hot Golden Turmeric Milk).

Need another excuse to give this Keto Iced Golden Milk Latte a try? Ok, one more, it tastes delicious! It’s dairy free too so if you’re Keto Vegan this one’s for you.

Ingredients (makes 4 regular or 8 small servings)

• 2 cups coconut milk (480 ml/ 16 fl oz)
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, or water for nut-free (480 ml/ 16 fl oz)
• 2 tbsp freshly grated turmeric or 2 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger or 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla powder
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper (do not skip - it significantly improves absorption of turmeric)
• Optional: 2 tbsp Erythritol or Swerve (20 g/ 0.7 oz) or Stevia drops to taste
• Optional: 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil or MCT oil or Brain Octane Oil
• ice to taste

Note: a regular serving is 1 cup, a small serving is ½ cup.

Instructions

1. Grate the ginger and turmeric. I’d recommend using protective gloves as the turmeric will stain your fingers. Same applies to your kitchen work top or chopping board so best to avoid your most loved surfaces.
2. Place the coconut and almond milk in a pan . Add the grated turmeric, ginger, vanilla, black pepper. Optionally, add erythritol and MCT oil (extra energy boost).
3. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Strain through a muslin cloth and discard the spices. Option to add the extra coconut oil, my favourite, stir and pour into a hand blender and pulse until frothy.
4. Allow to cool. Option to then place in the fridge for approximately 15 minutes until chilled. Place ice in a glass and pour over the Dairy Free Iced Golden Milk Latte.
5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The spices will settle, so simply give the golden milk a quick stir before serving.
