This Golden Turmeric Milk combines the earthy richness of turmeric with sweet cinnamon, honey, and a splash of vanilla to create a comforting warm drink.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- Black pepper a pinch
- Ground nutmeg (optional) a pinch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent a film from forming.
- In a bowl, mix together the ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, black pepper, and ground nutmeg (if using).
- Once the milk is warm, add a teaspoon of the warm milk to the spice mixture, and mix well. Pour the milky spice paste into the saucepan and whisk well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into milk. Stir occasionally to prevent burning, and don’t leave the boiling milk unattended.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add honey to taste. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
- Serve hot with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top.
