Instructions

Gather Your Ingredients: Make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go for a smooth process.
Heat the Non-Dairy Milk: In a small saucepan, pour in 1 1/4 cups of non-dairy milk and heat gently over medium-low heat, ensuring it doesn’t boil.
Add the Spices: Once the milk is warm, add in the grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and black pepper. Add cardamom or cayenne if using.
Sweeten It Up: Stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of agave nectar or your preferred sweetener, adjusting to taste.
Whisk to Combine: Use a whisk to blend everything together thoroughly for an even distribution of spices and a frothy texture.
Add Vanilla (Optional): If adding vanilla extract, stir it in for an extra layer of flavor.
Pour and Serve: Pour your latte into a mug and enjoy! Optionally, sprinkle more cinnamon on top for presentation.
