Servings: 1 mug
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, and almond all work — oat makes it extra creamy) ​
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric ​
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting ​
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 teaspoon freshly grated) ​
  • 1 ​ tiny pinch of black pepper (don't skip this!) ​
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, to taste ​
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee (optional, but adds richness and helps absorb curcumin) ​
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but lovely) ​

Method
 

  1. Add the milk to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Keep whisking as it warms so the spices dissolve instead of clumping.
  3. Warm until steaming and just starting to simmer — about 3 minutes. Don't boil it; boiling can make the milk taste scorched and dulls the honey later.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the honey, coconut oil, and vanilla.
  5. Pour into your favorite mug, dust with cinnamon, and sip slowly.
