Whether it is hot or iced, this moringa latte brings soothing sips of joy any time of the day (plus, it's caffeine-free, so we especially love it as an afternoon treat!). There are a few different methods depending on what tools you have on hand and if you want it iced or hot—see the breakdown below!
If you want to add a little extra to your Kudligi Nuggekai latte, we love a little Panneer rose simple syrup as the sweetener, or if you are heating it up, adding a couple crushed cardamom pods to the milk. Or, try mixing up the milk type—we love a moringa moment with pistachio milk!

Ingredients
- 1 to 1½ teaspoons Kudligi Moringa
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- Liquid sweetener of choice, like maple syrup, date syrup, honey, or agave
- ¾ to 1 cup cow or plant-based milk
Methods
Using a matcha bowl & whisk
- Place the moringa, hot water, and sweetener of your choice in a small bowl and whisk, using a matcha whisk, until the moringa dissolves into the water, about 30 to 45 seconds. Alternatively, you can use a small whisk.
- For hot, fill a mug with hot milk of your choice and pour the whisked sweetened moringa mixture over it. For iced, fill a glass with ice, pour the milk of your choice over the ice, top with the moringa mixture, and mix.
Stovetop method for hot moringa latte
- Add the moringa powder, sweetener of your choice, and 1 cup milk of your choice to a small saucepan and whisk to combine (you are going to omit the water in this version). Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
Shaken method for iced
- Place 1½ teaspoons moringa, sweetener of your choice, and 2 tablespoons cold water in a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice. Seal and shake until the outside of the shaker feels icy, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add more ice to a cup and pour milk over the ice, leaving about 2 inches at the top of the glass. Finish with the shaken moringa mixture and enjoy!
