INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder
In a small saucepan, combine the water, grated ginger, and cinnamon. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about five minutes.
Add milk, turmeric, and vanilla extract to the pan. Stir gently and heat until warm but not boiling. Keep an eye on it to avoid scalding the milk.
Whisk in the instant coffee or espresso powder until fully dissolved. Remove from heat. Let it steep for a minute to blend all the flavors smoothly.
Strain the mixture into your favorite mug to remove the ginger solids. Stir in honey or maple syrup for a natural, sweet finish to your latte.
Serve hot with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top if desired. Enjoy your homemade ginger-latte as a soothing, energizing beverage perfect for any time of day.
