Instructions

Preparation

1Combine coconut milk, water, ground turmeric, grated fresh ginger, cinnamon powder, maple syrup, and black pepper in a small saucepan.

Cooking

1Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously to ensure the spices are well-combined and prevent clumping.
2Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, being careful not to let it boil vigorously. Reduce heat to low.
3Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. The longer it simmers gently, the more infused the flavors will become.

Serving

1Remove the saucepan from the heat. Carefully strain the latte through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs to remove any ginger pulp or spice sediment, if desired for a smoother texture.
2Taste and adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a thin slice of fresh ginger.
