Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or soy)
  • 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric, peeled and grated
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of black pepper (freshly ground, if possible)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
  • A dash of vanilla extract (optional)

  1. Prepare Fresh Turmeric and Ginger: Peel and grate the fresh turmeric and ginger. You can use a fine grater or a small food processor.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the milk, grated fresh turmeric, grated fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper.

  3. Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture. Stir continuously to ensure the fresh turmeric and ginger are well incorporated.

  4. Simmer (Optional): Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
