Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pour 1 cup of milk into a small saucepan or microwave-safe mug.

  2. Step 2

    If using stovetop: place saucepan over medium heat and warm until steam rises from the surface and you see small bubbles forming around the edge, about 3 minutes. If using microwave: heat uncovered for 60 to 90 seconds until hot but not boiling.

  3. Step 3

    Add 0.5 teaspoon turmeric, 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon, 0.125 teaspoon ginger, and 1 pinch of black pepper to the hot milk.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk or stir vigorously for 30 seconds until the spices are fully dissolved and the milk turns golden yellow with no visible powder settling at the bottom.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup until completely dissolved.

  6. Step 6

    Pour into your favorite mug and drink immediately while warm.
