Golden Latte: The Turmeric Classic with No Added Sugar

The golden latte (or golden milk) is probably the most photogenic drink in the classic repertoire. Our version comes out of a single tin: the Yellow Matcha Blend, with turmeric, black pepper, kabocha pumpkin and chai spices - no added sugar (the sweetness comes from lucuma).

Ingredients (1 cup)

• 2 g (one teaspoon) of Yellow Matcha Blend
• 200 ml of the milk of your choice (oat and coconut are gorgeous here)
• Optional: an extra pinch of cinnamon to finish

Hot (the classic)

1. Blend the powder into a finger of warm water, whisking to a smooth, lump-free paste.
2. Heat and froth the milk (without letting it boil).
3. Pour the milk over the golden base, dust with cinnamon, done.

Iced (the summer version)

1. Same concentrated base: 2 g + 50 ml of water, well whisked.
2. Fill the glass with ice, add the cold milk and pour the gold on top - the gradient is the photo.

The pepper trick

Our blend already includes it: black pepper is turmeric's traditional companion in the kitchen, and it brings that warm little edge that makes a golden latte taste like a hug.
