This Vegan Iced Turmeric Latte (aka Golden Milk Latte) features dairy-free milk, ice, maple syrup, turmeric powder, cinnamon, ginger powder, black pepper (to activate the turmeric), and vanilla extract! That's it!
It's the perfect iced beverage to make for guests on a hot summer day to cool down or when you're craving a non-caffeinated drink that won't keep you up at night (that's why I developed this recipe).
You'll often find this chilled beverage served at select cafés but they charge up to $7 for one. Now you can save yourself some money!
The best part is that it's super easy to make with simple ingredients.

I just tried this for the first time! I made it warm, in the microwave for 1.5 minute and it's so comforting in the cold weather of October New England! I'll make it again for sure, and I can't wait to try the iced version.

Thanks so much for making my recipe! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! The cold one is so good too!

If you want to make a warm turmeric latte, you should firstly take approx 1 tsp of turmeric and make a paste with hot water( this will dissolve the turmeric much better). Place milk into the bowl/cup with the paste and stir. Heat all together, (optionally adding sweetener such as honey etc) preferably on a coffee machine or pot, but a microwave will work as well. Heating turmeric with the milk will eliminate unwanted texture, improve flavour and make a yummier drink!! Pour in mug and ENJOY!!

I tried this recipe today and it was SO GOOD! I didn’t have maple syrup, so I swapped it for agave. I’m also really caffeine sensitive so this was perfect!

I made this today with soy milk. It was amazing! Didn’t have any cinnamon left (I know it’s unthinkable) so I used pumpkin pie spice. Same effect.For someone who is caffeine sensitive, this is my new fave. Thanks so much!
