Turmeric Milk with White Elephant Espresso

Some mornings call for a little more grounding.

This is the kind of drink we reach for when we still want coffee, but also want to ease into the day instead of jumping straight into it. Warm milk, gentle spice, a touch of honey — and just enough espresso to keep it firmly in morning territory.

It’s simple, cozy, and uses things you probably already have around.

Why You’ll Love It

• Warm and comforting without being heavy
• Lightly spiced, not overpowering
• Easy enough for a regular morning
• Still includes coffee — just softer around the edges

Ingredients

• 6 oz milk of choice
• ½ tsp ground turmeric
• ½ tsp Chai Spice Blend
• 1 Tbsp honey
• ½ tsp vanilla
• 2 oz espresso, brewed with White Elephant Coffee
• Additional Chai Spice, for garnish (optional)

Method

1. Brew your espresso using White Elephant Coffee and pour it into your favorite mug. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan (or microwave-safe container), whisk together the milk, turmeric, chai spice, honey, and vanilla.
3. Heat gently until warm, then froth until thick and foamy.
4. Pour the spiced milk over the espresso.
5. Finish with an extra sprinkle of chai spice if you’d like.

Notes & Swaps

• If you prefer it less sweet, start with a little honey and add more if needed.
• This works just as well with dairy-free milk — oat and almond are especially nice here.
• If you don’t feel like frothing, it’s still good stirred.
