Pro Tips for the Best Golden Milk Matcha

  • Use warm, not boiling, water when whisking your matcha, this keeps the flavour smooth and prevents bitterness.
  • Froth the milk gently so it stays smooth and doesn't scald, especially with the added spices.
  • Adjust spices to taste – add a touch more turmeric or cinnamon depending on how warming you like it.
  • Add a pinch of black pepper to the milk mixture if you'd like to boost turmeric's natural properties.

FAQs

1. Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use your favourite plant-based milk, oat or coconut milk both froth beautifully and pair well with the warming spices.

2. Can I use a different sweetener?

Absolutely. Maple syrup or agave both work well in place of honey, adjust to taste.

3. Can I serve this iced instead of hot?

This recipe is designed as a warming, frothy drink, but you can cool the golden milk mixture and serve over ice for a lighter version.

4. Can I add ginger to this recipe?

Yes, a small pinch of ground ginger pairs beautifully with the turmeric and cinnamon for an extra warming kick.
