Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon raw honey
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine unsweetened almond milk, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, raw honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Whisk the ingredients together over medium-low heat until well combined and heated through. Do not let the mixture boil.
Add a pinch of black pepper and stir well. The black pepper helps improve the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
Once the milk is warm and slightly frothy, remove the saucepan from heat.
Pour the milk into two mugs, straining if necessary to remove any undissolved spices.
Serve immediately and enjoy warm.
