Tips for Making the Perfect Turmeric Latte

Use a milk frother to get the nice frothy foam we all love with our lattes. If you don't have one you can also transfer it to a blender and blend for 5-10 seconds to create a nice foam.
When heating your milk do not bring it to a boil, bring it to a low simmer on medium-high heat, then add turmeric and spices. You don't want to burn or scorch your milk.
Adjust the spice to your liking. A little turmeric goes a long way. I find ½ a teaspoon per serving is the perfect amount, but feel free to decrease or increase the amount slightly.
Cardamom gives an earthy sweet and spicy flavor. Decrease the amount of cardamom if it's too spicy or sub for ground cinnamon or ginger if you don't have it.
For the full health benefits of turmeric add a little black pepper to your latte. Black pepper helps with the absorption of curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) which is associated with its many health benefits.
