Ingredients- 1/2 fresh ginseng root
- 200ml milk
- 1 Tbsp honey (or to taste)
- 1 Tbsp pine nuts (optional, walnuts or almonds can be substituted)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh ginseng root under running water. Ensure all soil is removed. Then, use the back of a knife or a spoon to gently scrape off the skin. This step helps to remove any bitterness and enhances the ginseng’s subtle flavor.
Step 2
Prepare half of the peeled ginseng root. Finely chop the ginseng, including the smaller root hairs. Since everything will be blended, don’t worry too much about the size of the pieces; the blender will handle it. Using all parts ensures you get the maximum benefit.
Step 3
Measure out 200ml of milk. Regular whole milk works wonderfully, but you can also use low-fat milk, almond milk, or oat milk for a different flavor profile.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of pine nuts. These add a lovely richness and nutty aroma. If you don’t have pine nuts, feel free to use other nuts like walnuts or almonds. If you prefer a simpler flavor, you can also skip the nuts altogether.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to blend! Add the 200ml of milk, the chopped half ginseng root, and 1 tablespoon of honey to your blender. Adjust the amount of honey to your preferred sweetness level. If you’re using nuts, add them now as well.
Step 6
Secure the lid on the blender and process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Blend for long enough to ensure the ginseng fibers are fully broken down and all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a consistent, velvety texture.
Step 7
Pour your freshly blended ginseng latte into a serving cup. Your delicious and invigorating ginseng latte is ready to enjoy! It’s wonderful served warm for a comforting drink or chilled for a refreshing boost. Savor the subtle ginseng aroma and embrace a day filled with energy and wellness.
