Cozy Turmeric Latte Recipe – Dairy-Free and Delicious!
If you’re the kind of person who goes to sleep looking forward to their morning coffee, or if you simply love trying new cozy drinks and turmeric, you will love this recipe! My Cinnamon Turmeric Latte recipe is a warm, cozy, and delicious way to get your morning dose of caffeine.
This golden latte is completely dairy-free and refined sugar-free, using natural ingredients like organic honey, turmeric, and cinnamon. I recommend trying my Easy Homemade Almond Milk recipe, and using that to make your latte!
Turmeric and Cinnamon: Wonder Spices With Tons of Health Benefits
Turmeric is a root with a beautiful orange color that’s been used for centuries predominantly in Indian and Asian food. It adds great flavor to dishes, but the reason I love it the most is because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric contains the active ingredient curcumin, a natural compound responsible for the root’s healing properties, making it a great addition to an anti-inflammatory diet (Brown).
Cinnamon, a beloved spice in many kitchens derived from inner tree bark, is also rich in antioxidants, giving this latte a super boost of health benefits! It’s also been known to have anti-inflammatory properties, help lower blood sugar, and protect against certain diseases (“10 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Cinnamon”).
Why I Created This Anti-Inflammatory Recipe
In 2024, I discovered that my body produces antibodies that attack my thyroid. My doctor highly recommended that I stick to an anti-inflammatory diet because of the correlation between thyroid function and inflammation. I create most recipes, including this Cinnamon Turmeric Almond Milk Latte, with the intention of making something delicious that is going to serve my needs and leave me feeling my absolute best. I’ve noticed that eating as clean as possible has made me feel better, heal faster, and help with my overall cognitive function. I am by no means a doctor or registered dietician, but I did want to share my personal “why” for creating recipes like this one.
