Is that a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? No, it's a jar of turmeric golden latte powder. Health-boosting though, so probably worth more. Mix the spice blend with Overherd oat milk powder once, and you're under 2 minutes from a golden latte whenever you want one.
Ingredients
For the golden latte powder 200g Overherd oat milk powder 25g coconut sugar 5 tsp turmeric 2 tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp ground cardamom ¼ tsp black pepper Per serving 3 heaped tbsp (approx. 40g) golden latte powder 200ml hot waterMethod
Make the powder
1 Add all powder ingredients to a bowl and mix thoroughly until fully combined.
2 Transfer to a jar with a lid. Keeps for up to 9 months in a cool, dry place.
To make one serving
3 Add 3 heaped tablespoons (approx. 40g) of the golden latte powder to a mug.
4 Add 50ml of hot water and mix using a milk frother until smooth and frothy. Be careful of scalding. Once frothed add remaining hot water amount.
5 Dust with a pinch of cinnamon and serve immediately.
Tips
Use a frother A handheld electric frother dissolves the powder fully and creates a light foam on top. Without one, whisk vigorously or shake in a jar with a tight lid.
Don't skip the black pepper Black pepper contains piperine, which significantly increases the absorption of curcumin from the turmeric. It doesn't affect the flavour at this quantity.
Adjust the sweetness The recipe uses 55g coconut sugar for the full batch. Reduce to 35g for a less sweet, more spiced result or increase if you prefer it sweeter.
FAQ
Can you make a golden latte with oat milk powder? Yes, and it's the easiest way to do it. Adding Overherd oat milk powder directly to the spice mix means the oat milk is already in the jar. No heating milk separately. Just add hot water, froth, and serve.
What does a golden latte taste like? Warm, spiced, and slightly earthy from the turmeric. The cinnamon and cardamom add sweetness and depth. The coconut sugar gives a mild caramel note. It's caffeine-free, so it works well as an evening drink or a coffee alternative.
How long does the golden latte powder keep? Stored in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place, the powder keeps for up to 9 months. Make a batch and it's ready whenever you want a golden latte. No prep needed each time.
Serving suggestions
01 Classic with cinnamon A pinch of cinnamon dusted on top is all it needs. Looks good, tastes better, takes two seconds.
02 Evening wind-down Caffeine-free and warming. Makes a good alternative to herbal tea before bed.
03 Iced golden latte Follow the above steps and then pour over ice. The perfect summer wellness drink. Stir well before drinking.
04 Gifting Jar up the powder with a handwritten label and serving instructions. A solid homemade gift, especially around Christmas.
05 With breakfast Pairs well with porridge, granola, or toast. The spice profile complements most breakfast food without competing with it.
Variations
Extra spiced Increase turmeric to 6 tsp and add ¼ tsp ground ginger to the powder batch for a more intense, warming flavour.
Lower sugar Reduce coconut sugar to 10 - 15g across the batch. The spice flavour comes through more strongly. Great if you prefer a less sweet drink.
Chai golden latte Add ½ tsp ground ginger and ¼ tsp ground cloves to the powder batch for a chai-spiced version.
Floral decorations Float edible flowers or dried rose petals across the top for a bougie treat that almost looks too beautiful to drink.
