Turmeric spiced milk poured over ice, sometimes with a shot of espresso. A typical iced turmeric latte, drawn from Melbourne cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with straw (stir it through before you drink), cinnamon (a light dusting on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured), cold milk (about 220 ml, often oat or coconut, stirred golden; some add an espresso shot) and turmeric paste (turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and black pepper with honey, 1 to 2 spoonfuls). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

A cafe counts for iced turmeric latte from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with cafe posts or reviews (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Melbourne with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
