Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger (or a small piece of fresh ginger, grated)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
- Optional: a dash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper.
- Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Be sure not to boil the milk.
- Whisk and Simmer: Continue to whisk the mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the milk. This step is crucial for releasing the flavors fully.
- Strain (Optional): For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into your favorite mug. This step is optional but recommended if you’ve used fresh ginger or want to remove any spice sediments.
- Sweeten and Serve: Stir in honey or maple syrup to your desired sweetness. Add a dash of vanilla extract if you’re feeling fancy.
- Garnish: Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
