Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Grated fresh ginger (or ground ginger)
- 1 teaspoons Low-carb sweetener (like erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia)
- 1 pinch Black pepper (optional, for better absorption of turmeric)
- 1 teaspoons Coconut oil or ghee
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan, add the unsweetened almond milk and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the almond milk begins to warm, add the ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, grated fresh ginger (or ground ginger), and a pinch of black pepper if using.
Stir well to combine the spices and prevent clumping. Continue heating until the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 3–4 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!
