Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons raw honey
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon powdered maca root
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • a pinch of cayenne chili powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond beverage
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • a tiny pinch of Himalayan pink salt

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. Gather all your ingredients on a clean countertop. I like to measure everything in advance, so I only need to focus on blending everything together.
Step 2: Blend the Base
  1. Using a blender, combine your almond beverage, maca powder, honey, chia seeds, ginger, and the pinch of salt. Blend for about 30 seconds. You want everything truly combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3: Heat It Up
  1. Pour the blended mixture into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom. You want it heated, not boiling. The goal is to maintain that creamy texture.
Step 4: Add the Spice
  1. Once warmed to your liking, add the cinnamon and cayenne chili powder. Stir well to incorporate these spices throughout the drink.
Step 5: Serve
  1. Pour the maca latte into your favorite mug. You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg on top for an extra touch. Trust me, your friends will be envious as you sip on this delightful beverage.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ginger rather than dried for more flavor.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to add more honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.
  • Try Different Milks: If almond milk isn’t your thing, try oat milk or coconut milk as alternatives. Each will offer a unique flavor.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try adding cocoa powder or matcha for varied tastes!
  • Storage Tip: If you make this in advance, store it in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
