Banana Turmeric Latte
Oh yum! This is winter warming goodness on uberdrive. Earthy spices, sweet banana goodness and milk combine to deliver a smashingly flavoursome Latte to keep the winter chills away. This is quite a thick drink, almost like a soup. You may choose to add extra milk or water for a less intense flavour experience.
Ingredients
1 (140g) ripe banana – the riper the sweeter
1 teaspoon turmeric
¾ teaspoon mixed spice
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon cloves
⅛ teaspoon cardamom
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
250ml milk of choice
Method
- Combine spices and 2 tablespoons boiling water in a Nutri bullet or food processor. Process until spices are no longer lumpy. Ideally, pour these spices into a saucepan and stir over medium heat whilst completing the next steps.
- Add banana and process again until smooth.
- Add milk and repeat.
- Transfer to the saucepan and rinse out the blender with a little water, add this to the saucepan too.
- Continue stirring on medium high until warmed through.
- Add maple if you think it needs it. I do not have a particularly sweet tooth but am occasionally reminded by my talented taste testers that others do.
