Drink: Lauren's Honey Turmeric Latte
A Note from Lauren
I love this drink because it is so easy to make and adds a bit of zip to your morning! I’m not a huge coffee drinker but if I’m going to drink some I like to spice it up with a lot of extra flavors. Sometimes I even skip the espresso altogether. Don’t have time to make your own? While renovating their 100 year old home last year in Highland Park, she and her husband Charlie found themselves hanging out at Tala Coffee Roasters in Highwood quite a bit. “If you find yourself nearby you have got to try their Ube latte - it’s their take on the award winning, cult classic Ube Donut from our friends at Gurnee Donuts. Ube is a purple root vegetable that tastes like a vanilla wafer cookie. Made with espresso, Ube syrup, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and milk. Oddly enough, it pairs well with its pastry counterpart!

Ingredients
1 shot espresso (if you want - but not necessary) 1 cup preferred nut or oat milk - try the Elmhurst brand which only has three ingredients, no thank you to those you can’t even pronounce ¼ cup canned coconut milk (the full fat version is best) 1 heaping teaspoon honey (Lauren loves the local honey from Elawa Farms market in Lake Forest) A large dash of turmeric A small dash of cinnamon and cayenne (if you’re feeling dangerous)
Recipe
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milks together until hot. Pour in a blender and add the espresso, honey, and spices. Blend on high for a few seconds until slightly frothy. Pour in a mug and enjoy!
