Turmeric Latte Variations & Tips

• Sweetener adjustment: Use 1 tbsp instead of 2 for a lower sugar version, or try maple syrup or stevia instead of coconut nectar.
• Spice boost: Increase ginger by ⅛ tsp or add a pinch of black pepper to enhance absorption of curcumin.
• Milk swap: Use oat milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk depending on desired creaminess — adjust consistency with extra water if needed.
• Iced version tips: Blend with crushed ice and chill the ingredients before blending to keep it frosty and smooth.
• Turmeric strength variation: Try using fresh turmeric root (grated) instead of powder for a more vibrant flavor and color.
• Serve warm alternative: Gently heat the blended mixture on stovetop over low heat (don’t boil) to preserve volatile flavors.
