Stir well to combine the spices and prevent clumping. Continue heating until the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 3β4 minutes.
Add the low-carb sweetener, coconut oil or ghee, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sweetener has dissolved and the oil has melted and incorporated fully.
Remove the saucepan from heat and turn off the stove.
Strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve into a mug to remove pieces of ginger if fresh ginger was used.
Serve warm and enjoy your soothing low-carb turmeric milk!
