• You can add other spices, most notably cardamom and clove, while many add superfoods such as chia seeds or oatmeal flakes. In any case, the dominant flavors should be coffee, ginger and turmeric.
• It is better to prepare Iced Golden Latte with a cold filter coffee than with another type of coffee, as the final result will have more taste balance.
