• Cinnamon: A warming spice that complements turmeric beautifully, cinnamon is known for its ability to balance blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and support heart health. It also adds a naturally sweet touch to your latte without added sugar.

• Ginger: Another anti-inflammatory powerhouse, ginger helps improve digestion, reduce bloating, and soothe nausea. It’s also great for boosting circulation and supporting overall immune function.

• Coconut milk: This creamy milk alternative is rich in healthy fats and a great source of vitamins and minerals. It helps keep you feeling full and satisfied while adding richness to the latte without the need for dairy.

• Black Pepper: A little black pepper goes a long way in this recipe! It helps enhance turmeric’s absorption, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from its anti-inflammatory properties.
