Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and this warm and comforting beverage is a great way to incorporate it into your routine.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or soy milk)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of black pepper (helps with the absorption of turmeric)
- 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for added richness)
Instructions:
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat. Be careful not to boil it; you just want it hot.
- Add the ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper to the milk. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
- If you’re using sweetener, add honey or maple syrup to taste. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- If you’d like to add a touch of richness, you can include a small amount of coconut oil. This is optional and can be adjusted based on your preference.
- Continue to heat the mixture until it’s warmed to your liking, but again, be cautious not to bring it to a boil.
- Once heated, pour the turmeric tea into a mug and enjoy.
Feel free to adjust the quantities of ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Some people also like to experiment with adding other spices like cardamom or nutmeg for additional flavor. Enjoy your turmeric tea!
