Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other compliant non-dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (Whole30-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 pinch black pepper
- optional compliant sweetener (optional, e.g., a date or monk fruit powder)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the unsweetened almond milk, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture with a whisk to ensure the spices are fully blended into the milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Add the vanilla extract and coconut oil. If using a date or other Whole30-compliant sweetener, add it to the saucepan now.
Transfer the mixture to a blender if you used a date or want a frothy texture. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Pour the turmeric milk into two mugs and serve warm. Adjust sweetness to taste if necessary.
