Calming Ashwagandha Latte Recipe
A soothing, turmeric-infused beverage inspired by ancient Ayurvedic golden milk, featuring calming ashwagandha to help you unwind and promote overall well-being. Perfect for a relaxing nightcap.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk any type (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.5 tsp ashwagandha powder
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.25 tsp ginger powder optional
- 0.25 tsp cinnamon powder optional
- pinch black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, ashwagandha powder, turmeric powder, ginger powder (if using), cinnamon powder (if using), and black pepper.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it is hot and frothy but not boiling.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup or honey to taste.
- Pour the warm latte into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately for a calming evening experience.
Notes
For a vegan option, use any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. Adding a tiny pinch of freshly ground black pepper can significantly enhance the absorption of turmeric's beneficial compounds. You can also add a small amount of coconut oil for creaminess and increased absorption.
