Food safety tips:
- Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
- Clean all countertops and equipment used for food preparation.
Preparation:
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
- Whisk in the turmeric powder, black pepper, cinnamon (if using), and ginger (if using). Continue to whisk until the spices are well incorporated and the milk starts to lightly steam.
- Reduce the heat and let the milk simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the spices to infuse the milk.
- Remove from heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup to taste.
- If you used fresh turmeric or ginger and prefer a smoother texture, strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Serving suggestion: Perfect for a soothing bedtime drink or a morning pick-me-up. Feel free to adjust the spice levels and sweetness according to your preference.
*Note: Excessive turmeric or spices can put a strain on kidneys, so be sure to consult with your healthcare provider when incorporating new foods into your diet.
