ok.. everyone knows how much i love my iced coffees & iced lattes no matter what season it is, right? well, today i'm sharing a recipe for an elevated iced latte featuring golden milk AND espresso! it is like combining two amazing drinks in one & it is oh so good. if you aren't familiar with golden milk, it is a nutrient packed blend of spices that includes tumeric, ginger root, black pepper, cardamom, nutmeg & vanilla bean. i don't think it can get any cozier!
to make this drink extra simple to whip up on any weekday, i used buddha teas golden milk. buddha teas uses 100% unaltered, organic + wildcrafted teas made from the freshest herbs & tea leaves. there are no artificial flavours, colours or preservatives which means that beautiful yellow colour comes natural from the tumeric. the golden milk is also lightly sweetened with coconut sugar, so add the honey to taste if you prefer drinks not too sweet.
i also use a blend of coconut or oat milk in this recipe for maximum creaminess, as well as a hint of coconut flavour. however, any milk you prefer in your lattes will do the trick for this recipe. cheers to iced coffee season, even though it never really starts or ends for me! haha
