Homemade Ginseng Latte Recipe: A Perfect Blend of Health and Deliciousness
Discover the delightful taste of homemade ginseng latte, inspired by fresh Korean ginseng found at the market! Unlike the anticipated bitter notes, this latte offers a surprisingly sweet and nutty flavor with a subtle, aromatic ginseng essence. Fresh ginseng, with its milder bitterness and less intense aroma, is versatile for salads or stir-fries, but its true magic shines when blended with milk and honey. This combination not only masks any bitterness but also creates a smooth, palatable drink that’s enjoyable for everyone. Packed with beneficial saponins, ginseng is known for its energizing properties, making this latte feel like a boost of ‘tiger power’! It’s the perfect revitalizing beverage to combat fatigue on warmer spring days or when feeling sluggish due to fine dust.
Ingredients- 200ml Milk
- 7-8 pcs Fresh Korean Ginseng (including fine roots)
- 7-8 pcs Pine nuts (shelled)
- 1 Tbsp Honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the fresh ginseng under running water. Gently scrub with a soft green scrubber to effectively remove any soil or impurities.
Step 2
Separate the fine, delicate roots from the main ginseng body; washing them individually makes cleaning easier. Drain the washed ginseng well using a sieve.
Step 3
Finely chop the ginseng roots. This will help them blend more smoothly in the next step.
Step 4
Place the chopped ginseng roots into a blender. Add the 7-8 pine nuts, 200ml of milk, and 1 Tbsp of honey.
Step 5
Secure the blender lid and process until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. Blend thoroughly for the best texture.
