What You Need
Ingredients & Equipment
Milk (full cream, skim, oat… you decide, but be sure to check it froths well!)
Golden Milk Turmeric Blend (we used organic Sol Spice)
Cinnamon Sticks
Aniseed Stars
Cinnamon sugar
Local Organic Honey
Laura Luke Handmade Companion Mug
Teaspoon
Kettle (or an alternative way to boil water)
Espresso Machine with Steel Pitcher (alternatively, you could use a microwavable jug and milk frothing wand.)
How to Make the ‘Golden Sunshine’ Latte
Place one heaped teaspoon of ‘golden milk turmeric blend’ into your companion mug. Add a small amount of boiling water to mix it into a paste.
Pour a generous serving of milk into a steel pitcher. Using an espresso machine, position the pitcher under the steam wand to froth the milk until the pitcher is hot to the touch. Tap the pitcher firmly on the countertop to burst any larger bubbles and gently swirl the milk around.
Alternatively, you can warm your milk on a stovetop or in a microwave and use a handheld milk frother.
Using your spoon, pour the frothed milk over the chocolatey paste into your companion mug and give it a quick stir to combine the milk and chocolate paste, leaving at least 2 centimetres of space from the top rim of your mug. Spoon any remaining milk foam on the top.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top to garnish, add an aniseed star and/or cinnamon stick.
If you like it extra sweet, stir in a generous amount of local organic honey.
Experience pure relaxation with this Golden Sunshine latte, the ultimate way to unwind and rejuvenate after a long week! Treat yourself to a moment of bliss!
