3 cups milk of choice - dairy or dairy-free
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric powder or 1/2 Tablespoon finely grated fresh turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder or 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon powder
1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
1 Tablespoon honey or another sweetener of choice, adjust to taste or omit

Add the milk, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper to a small saucepan. Whisk to combine.
Warm over medium heat until steaming, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla (optional). If using honey, wait about a minute, then sweeten to taste. Strain into mugs for a smoother sip.
Froth briefly for a latte-style top and serve warm.

Adjust the sweetness: Taste and adjust to your liking.

Don’t skip the black pepper: It balances sweetness and helps turmeric do its best work.
