Ginger Latte with Cinnamon Swirl

Ingredients

Directions

1. Boil the ginger in water for at least 10 minutes (longer if you want a stronger ginger taste!). 
 
2. Meanwhile, heat the milk (a frother is best but if you don’t have one you can whisk in a pot on the stove).
 
3. Strain the ginger tea and serve in your favorite mug. Stir in cinnamon and maple syrup until combined.
 
4. Pour your frothy milk on top, dust with more cinnamon and enjoy!

Notes

Fresh ginger tea is unique as it is soothing and invigorating at the same time. Its warm, nourishing qualities soothe an upset stomach and help calm your nerves, while its fiery kick helps ignite your digestive fire (agni). Fresh ginger tea can be consumed year round, but is especially balancing during the winter months.

In Ayurveda, there are important differences between fresh and dry ginger. Fresh ginger is warming, heavy and moist. It’s considered more nourishing, soothing and comforting than dry ginger. Dry ginger has its own unique benefits and is most balancing to Kapha Dosha.

This recipe also has warming cinnamon, ojas-building milk and a splash of sweetness. 

Dosha Type

This recipe is tridoshic as it helps to reduce Vata, Pitta and Kapha. 

Fresh ginger helps balance all three doshas, especially in Fall/Vata Season.  

Cinnamon pacifies Vata and Kapha doshas. It can aggravate Pitta dosha in excess, however this drink is intended for the colder months where Pitta dosha can enjoy in moderation. 

Cow’s milk is balancing for vata and pitta doshas. 

Goats milk is balancing for all three doshas. 

Sheeps milk calms vata but is more aggravating to pitta and kapha dosha. 

Almond milk and oat milk build ojas and is balancing to vata and pitta doshas. 

Sunflower, pumpkin seed, and hemp seed milks are well-tolerated by all doshas.
