Ingredients to prepare Matcha Turmeric Latte:

• 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 cup (240 ml) of milk of your choice (can be cow’s milk or a plant-based alternative such as almond, coconut, etc.)
• A pinch of black pepper (to enhance the absorption of turmeric’s curcumin)
• Natural sweetener to taste (optional, such as honey, agave nectar, or coconut sugar)

Utensils:

• Matcha whisk (chasen) or a small hand whisk
• Saucepan to heat the milk
• Mug for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat the Milk:
Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. If preferred, froth the milk to add texture to your drink.

2. Prepare the Matcha Turmeric Base:
Sift the matcha powder and turmeric powder into your mug to prevent clumps. Add a little hot water (about 1/4 cup, not boiling, around 80°C) and use the matcha whisk or small hand whisk to blend until smooth and lightly frothy.

3. Add Black Pepper:
Incorporate a pinch of black pepper into the matcha turmeric mix. This helps improve the body’s absorption of curcumin.

4. Pour the Hot Milk into the Matcha Turmeric Mix:
Slowly pour the hot milk over the matcha turmeric blend in the mug, stirring gently as you pour.

5. Sweeten to Taste:
If desired, add your favorite natural sweetener and stir to fully integrate it into the drink.
