The Golden Cardamom Latte is our newest winter drink, created by Ruchi Sanap, a Front of House star from our Belsize Park House. This comforting blend of turmeric, cardamom, and subtle sweetness won first place in our Winter Drinks Competition and is set to warm up guests across the UK and US. Inspired by Ruchi’s childhood memories of turmeric milk, this drink offers a modern twist on a traditional favourite, perfect for a cosy winter escape.

Ruchi drew on her mother’s recipe for haldi doodh, a staple of her upbringing, blending turmeric’s vibrant warmth with fragrant cardamom. Her dedication to perfecting the recipe paid off as her team and regulars quickly fell in love with its balance of sweetness and spice. Now, Ruchi is thrilled to share this heartfelt creation with WatchHouse guests.

What Makes It Special.

Crafted with ingredients that prioritise both flavour and wellness:

• Cardamom: Adds a soothing, aromatic depth.
• Turmeric: Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, giving the drink its golden hue.
• Whole Milk (or plant-based options): Creates a creamy, indulgent base, with oat or soy alternatives available for a vegan-friendly version.

Enhanced with cinnamon, ginger, and a touch of pepper, the Golden Cardamom Latte is a layered, warming treat that’s both satisfying and nourishing.

The Perfect Pairing.

Pair your latte with our freshly baked Cardamom Bun for the ultimate winter combo. Together, they elevate the aromatic richness of cardamom, offering a comforting and indulgent experience.

Come and enjoy the Golden Cardamom Latte at WatchHouse this winter. Ruchi’s passion and dedication have crafted a drink that’s as heartwarming as it is delicious—a true winter delight.
