Spiced Turmeric Latte

1. To a mortar and pestle add fresh turmeric and ginger. Mash into small pieces. * you can also cut or grate the turmeric and ginger *
2. In pot over medium heat add in the ginger and turmeric. Cover with 2 cups of water then bring to a boil.
3. Mash the whole spices in a mortar and pestle; 8 whole peppercorns, 6 whole cloves, 6 cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick.
4. Once boiling, boil for 5 minutes add the spices and 2 cups milk warm milk (I used 1 cup coconut , 1 cup oat milk). Bring to a simmer then once simmering turn off heat, add coconut sugar, vanilla bean paste, pinch of salt, mix and let sit for 5 minutes.

(Optional) I like to use a molinillo to make it frothy!

5. Place a fine mesh strainer over a cup then pour it through. *You can remove the bigger pieces of ginger and turmeric prior, to make pouring into glass easier *
6. Enjoy hot or iced
