			Milk Base
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond milk)
 
Sweetener and Oil
- 1 tsp honey
 
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
 
Spices
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
 
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
 
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
 
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
 
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
 
		 
	 
	
		
		
			
- Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, gently warm the milk over medium heat with the honey and optional coconut oil. Stir occasionally and bring it to just below boiling point, watching for small bubbles forming around the edges.
 
- Blend in spices: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom until fully incorporated.
 
- Let the flavors meld: Allow the mixture to stand for a few minutes to deepen the spice flavors. Optionally strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any sediment.
 
- Add black pepper and serve: Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper on top to enhance turmeric absorption, stir well, and enjoy your warm spiced milk.
 
- Make a large batch spice mix (optional): Combine 1/4 cup each of turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom in a jar. Use 1 teaspoon of this mix per 1 cup of milk when preparing the drink for ease and convenience.
 
		 
	 
	
		Notes
		
			
- The coconut oil is optional but helps in the absorption of turmeric’s curcumin by providing healthy fats.
 
- Use freshly ground black pepper as it increases the bioavailability of turmeric.
 
- You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk based on your preference or dietary needs.
 
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or choose other natural sweeteners as desired.
 
- Straining the milk is optional but helps if you prefer a smoother texture without spice particles.
