Tips & Variations
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the ghee with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste or use maple syrup for a different natural sweetness.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, whisk the golden milk vigorously to create foam.
Storage
Store any leftover golden milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving. It’s best to prepare fresh espresso and honey mixture each time for optimal flavor.

FAQs
Can I use regular milk instead of oat milk?
Yes, you can use any milk you prefer, such as dairy, almond, or soy milk. Oat milk adds a natural creaminess but feel free to substitute based on your taste or dietary needs.
What is the purpose of adding black pepper?
Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, making the golden latte more beneficial and flavorful.
