A warm and soothing drink made with milk or plant-based milk infused with turmeric, warming spices, and a touch of sweetener. Naturally caffeine-free and perfect for a cozy moment.

Ingredients

  • 1½ to 2 cups milk or plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, soy)
  • ¼ to 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground ginger (or about ¼ teaspoon)
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (e.g., maple syrup, honey, agave)
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup coconut cream or extra milk for richness

Instructions

  1. Pour the milk or plant milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
  2. Add the ground turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Whisk gently to combine and break up spice clumps.
  3. Let the mixture gently simmer for 2–5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetener and vanilla extract (if using).
  5. Pour into a mug. For a frothy texture, use a milk frother or blender.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy while hot.

Notes

  • Use coconut cream for a richer version with a tropical twist.
  • For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and sweeteners like maple syrup or agave.
  • Spice it up with a pinch of cardamom, nutmeg, or cayenne.
  • To make it iced, cool the mixture and serve over ice with cold milk.
  • Add a shot of espresso for a turmeric-espresso latte.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours. Reheat gently and stir before drinking.
