Chef's Tips

A pinch of black pepper significantly improves the body's absorption of turmeric. Don't hesitate to add it!

For a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of coconut cream before serving.

You can prepare your Golden Latte in advance and reheat it as needed. However, the flavors will be more intense if you prepare it just before enjoying it.

Experiment with different types of plant-based milk to discover your favorite combination!

Conservation

It's best to drink a Golden Latte immediately after preparation to fully enjoy its aromas and benefits. If you prepare it in advance, keep it refrigerated and gently reheat it before drinking.
