    ⭐ Why you will love this iced latte

    Summer vibes. Iced drinks are always so good when the weather is warmer, and are so refreshing.

    Healthy. Packed with the goodness of turmeric, which has reputed anti-inflammatory properties.

    Easy to make. Such an easy recipe, and all you need is a blender!

    ☕ Ingredients

    One of the best things about this caffeine free iced drink is that it is made with pantry staples, mostly spices, and with only a few ingredients:

    • Turmeric: the star ingredient of course, and the spice that gives the latte the beautiful yellow colour. I tend to use the Simply Organic ground turmeric powder.
    • Ginger: I use fresh ginger in this recipe, but you can use ginger powder as well. The Simply Organic ground ginger is good.
    • Cardamom: just a small pinch as it adds so much flavour.
    • Non-dairy milk: use whichever suits you best. The flavour of the milk will alter the taste of the latte a little.
    • Maple syrup: to add sweetness and a nice decadent flavour!
    • Black pepper: this is optional, and is a higher histamine food. It helps increase the absorption of the curcumin in turmeric.
    • Ice: to make it, well, icy and perfect for summer!

    ⏲️ Equipment needed

    The only equipment needed for this latte recipe is a NutriBullet or other blender, as well as a sharp knife to peel and slice the ginger if you are using fresh.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    It's very easy to make this turmeric iced latte, with just a few steps:

    Step 1

    Pour the non-dairy milk into your blender.

    Step 2

    Add the other ingredients and blend to your latte. Adjust the amounts of spice to taste preference.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Add the milk to your blender first so the spices don't stick to the bottom or sides.
    • Adjust the amount of fresh ginger to preference. 

    📋 Frequently asked questions

    Which milk is best to make this iced turmeric latte?

    You can use pretty much any non-dairy milk to make this turmeric latte. I like to use oat milk or almond milk.

    Can I add black pepper?

    Yes, if you wish to add black pepper you can easily do so. It is understood to help enhance the absorption of curcumin in the turmeric in the body.

    🍽 How to increase the health benefits of turmeric (and curcumin)

    One of the best ways to increase the bioavailability of curcumin is to consume it with black pepper, which contains piperine. As Healthline describes, piperine 'is a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000%'.

    I include an optional pinch of black pepper in this recipe. If you are on a low histamine diet you may not be able to tolerate black pepper, as it is higher histamine. Also, it will slightly change the taste. So add if you like and are OK with it, or just enjoy this iced turmeric latte without for its lovely taste.

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
