Recipe for Turmeric Lavender Coffee Creamer
Total time for preparation: 15 mins
Serves: 1.5 cups
Cooking: 10 mins
Prep Time: 5mins
You need the following ingredients:
- Full-fat coconut milk – 1 14 oz. can
- Ground turmeric – 1 teaspoon
- Dried lavender buds – ½ teaspoon
- Raw honey or maple syrup – 1 tablespoon
First, combine the coconut milk with turmeric and some dried lavender buds. If you notice that the fat from the coconut milk is apart from the liquid, blend it for a few seconds or stir it with a spoon more vigorously.
Place the mixture in a small saucepan over low heat. When steaming, turn off the heat and let it infuse for 10 minutes. Then, strain the mixture and remove the lavender buds.
Put the creamer in an airtight jar and then place it in the fridge for two hours until it becomes nice and cold.
At last, taste this delicious creamer. Enrich your favorite coffee or combine it with ice for a refreshing chilled drink.
Store it in the fridge for up to one week.
In the autumn, you can replace the lavender and turmeric with some nutmeg and cinnamon. In the winter, combine cocoa powder and a little peppermint extract for a delicious peppermint creamer.
