Ingredients:

Instant Black Coffee, or any strong coffee

I used this milk.

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, add the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water in equal amount or 1:1:1 ratio. Mix well.

Lets make the coffee foam...

Using a wire whisk, in a tilted angle, whisk the mixture for 2-3 minutes (about 400 times whisks), or until a stiff peak is formed.

Using a hand mixer, starting at a low speed, mix the coffee and sugar until well dissolved. Then gradually turn the speed to high and mix about 1-2 minutes, or until stiff peaks form.

Fill 2/3 of a cup or glass with cold or warm milk (or any dairy of choice), and/or add 3-4 ice cubes if you prefer iced.

Spoon the coffee foam and add it on top of the milk (or any dairy of choice).

Sprinkle with some cinnamon or cocoa powder. Enjoy...

You can enjoy it as is, or you can stir it up to make a latte. Drink up~!!

The above recipe has naturally occurring ingredients which have traditionally been used to support the structure and function of the human body for thousands of years. Always check with your personal physician or licensed health care practitioner before making any significant modification in your diet or lifestyle, to insure that the ingredients or lifestyle changes are appropriate for your personal health condition and consistent with any medication you may be taking.

While turmeric is safe in regular dietary amounts, it can cause stomach upset at high doses. Ask your doctor before using turmeric if you suffer from gallstones or bile duct obstructions. Pregnant women should also avoid consuming extra turmeric since it encourages menstruation and uterine contractions. Do not take turmeric milk if you are allergic to dairy products, though you can *substitute milk substitutes (almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, or rice milk) in place of dairy milk in making golden milk.
