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.
