Please keep in mind to add a little because of its strong taste and flavor. 

Does a homemade turmeric latte have coffee in it?

The word latte is famous for coffee beverages, but the turmeric latte recipe does not include coffee. 

Moreover, it is a turmeric and milk blend recipe, flavoring agents, and spices like dry ginger powder, cinnamon, pepper powder, nutmeg, honey, and others. The best caffeine-free hot beverage, where you need to check your caffeine daily intake. 

Is it possible to make a cup of golden milk microwave recipe with coffee?

I have found a few recipes where people use coffee mix in the hot turmeric milk. People also make a frothy coffee blend and add haldi doodh to the mixture. 

In addition, you can use an espresso shot along with the mug recipe or any choice of coffee mix. 

Instant turmeric latte mix for the mug beverage:

Make a latte mix ahead of time and store it in an air-tight container. Mix the spices with turmeric powder in a bowl, and it is ready to use whenever you feel it. Latte mix can be stored for up to 3 months. 

If you use powdered sweetener in the mug recipe, you can mix it too. But if you prefer to use liquid sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, do not add them. 

Using milk powder to make the warm golden milk drink:

I am using regular dairy milk in this recipe, but if you do not have it, you can use milk powder for the mug drink. 

Also, if you use milk powder to make the haldi doodh recipe, you can mix and store it with the latte mixture. 

Iced turmeric latte recipe:

Prepare the easy golden milk in the same way by mixing all the ingredients, using ice cubes or crushed ice, pouring the milk into the cup, and it is ready to serve.

Black pepper in the golden milk microwave recipe:

Black pepper gives a fun kick to the honey turmeric milk. 

Adding black pepper or pepper powder to the mug recipe is optional, but it is vital to ground fresh black pepper as it increases the absorption rate of the haldi from the drink and provides more health benefits.

Other things to add to the golden milk microwave recipe to make it more tasty and healthy:

Add various stuff to your best golden milk recipe, such as cardamom, nutmeg powder, cinnamon stick or powder, freshly grated ginger, dry ginger powder, vanilla essence, or extract. 

On top of that, you can use fresh turmeric or powdered one per your choice and availability. Add ghee or oil to the milk. 

Also, you can use healthy sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, date sugar, jaggery, agave syrup, and many more. You can use dairy and plant-based milk products as per your taste.

Is it reasonable to drink too much golden drink?

Despite the many health benefits, some adverse effects are an upset stomach, nausea, or diarrhea. So, drinking more turmeric milk is harmful to the body. 

Best time to consume the healthy golden milk microwave beverage:

According to the traditional way and ayurvedic properties, bedtime is the best time to drink this steamy cup of golden milk microwave drink that helps you sleep well. 

As preferred, having it at night before bed has a calming, soothing effect and helps to relax. It is also caffeine-free, so it is a perfect way to end your day with this mug beverage. 

Alternatively, you can enjoy it any time of the day as per your choice, be it a cup of morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Can I reheat the golden milk microwave drink?

As I have added honey to the drink, it is not suggested to reheat the cup of haldi drink as it is not good to heat honey.

But if you have added any other sweetener, you can reheat the leftovers on a gas stove or microwave. Mix the ingredients properly, as they might end up sitting at the bottom while stored in the fridge.
