Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee using a coffee maker or French press.
Warm the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low to medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Blend the Spices
In a separate bowl, combine the ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground black pepper, and any optional spices you prefer (nutmeg, cardamom).
Create the Turmeric Paste
Add a splash of hot milk to the spice mixture and whisk until it forms a smooth paste. This step helps to evenly distribute the spices in the coffee.
Mix the Turmeric Paste
Pour the brewed coffee into your mug.
Stir in the turmeric paste until well combined
Sweeten and Froth
Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten your coffee, adjusting to taste.
Froth the hot milk until it's creamy and pourable. You can use a frother or a whisk for this step.
Combine and Serve
Pour the frothed milk into the coffee, gently stirring to combine.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or turmeric on top for garnish
Enjoy
Sip and savour your golden turmeric coffee, revelling in its comforting and aromatic flavours.
