Ingredients

  • 2 cups soy milk (or other dairy-free milk)
  • 1 tsp. ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2-3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Pinch of black pepper
Optional:
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger (or freshly grated), cardamom

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add all ingredients and whisk to combine.
  2. Heat for about 5-6 minutes until milk is hot, whisking occasionally.
  3. Take care not to boil. Only lightly simmer until the spices are mostly dissolved.*
  4. Carefully pour into a mug and enjoy.

Notes

  • *Dissolving the spices: I find ground turmeric doesn't dissolve very easily, so some may settle at the bottom of your pan and mug. I like to give my mug a gentle swirl before drinking to help it along. (Be aware turmeric can stain, so pour and use cautiously.)
  • Milk: I use plain & unsweetened. If using sweetened or flavored milk, you can adjust the vanilla & maple syrup as desired.
  • Black pepper: The pinch of black pepper is said to aid in the effectiveness of turmeric.
  • Recipe adapted from Nutrition Stripped.
