  • Golden Latte

When I drink this beautiful latte, I do it slowly to savor and enjoy. This Golden Latte is luxurious because it's rich and creamy, especially with unsweetened soymilk or homemade unsweetened Almond Milk.

So, which milk should you use? Indeed, if you have a nut allergy, go with the soymilk. Or, if you have a soy allergy, go with almond milk. But if allergens are not a concern, go with whatever you have on hand or are curious to try. Both kinds of milk are delicious in this latte.

What you need to make this delicious golden latte

  1. Unsweetened soymilk (or unsweetened homemade almond milk)
  2. Cinnamon
  3. Simple Homemade Date Syrup
  4. Fresh turmeric
  5. Fresh ginger root
  6. Black pepper

Frequently Asked Questions

Are golden lattes good for you?

The ingredients will determine if there are health benefits to drinking the golden latte. This golden latte recipe has no added coconut oil, which is high in saturated fat. Saturated fat has been shown to be a culprit in elevating LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Added fat also increases calorie density, which can thwart weight loss efforts. But this recipe uses soymilk, which is associated with reducing cholesterol levels and is high in protein. Also, this golden latte recipe is healing due to curcumin in turmeric, which has been shown to reduce inflammation enhanced by adding black pepper. Curcumin has also been associated with improved brain health.

Does golden latte have coffee in it?

No. This latte is caffiene-free.

Can I drink this latte iced?

Absolutely! Allow the latte to cool to lukewarm or room temperature, and then pour it over ice.

    Love the fresh ingredients, warm flavors, and smooth texture of this golden milk latte. No processed powder here. This is so much tastier than what you'd get at a cafe.
