This Turmeric Latte: Not available at a Starbucks near you

I love my coffee and drink espresso once almost every day. I admit, I am somewhat of a Starbucks or Bridgehead lover, but have been really trying to shy away from those places and make a delicious latte of my own right at home. I have finally found a latte you won't find at a Starbucks or Bridgehead coffee shop near you. It is so easy to make and tastes delicious! If you don't drink coffee simply leave the espresso out of the recipe! BONUS: there are a few nutrional perks to this latte, like being an excellent source of iron!

INGREDIENTS

- 2 tsp turmeric

- 2 tsp cinnamon

- 1 tsp cardamom

- 1 tsp ginger

- 2 cups your choice of milk (I used unsweetened coconut or almond milk, both worked great!)

- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil

- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup

- Small pinch of sea salt

- Small dash of pepper for taste

- 2 oz (2 shots) espresso

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in a pot on the stove (except pepper and maple syrup) until lightly simmering.

2. Brew your espresso.

2. Take a frother and froth the mixture.

3. Add espresso to a mug and mix in frothed turmeric mixture. Add froth on top of latte.

4. Add maple syrup for some sweetness and a dash of pepper to taste, sip, and enjoy!
