It takes just 10 minutes from start to sip, making it perfect for rushed mornings or cozy evenings.
The warmth and spices naturally calm and comfort you, like wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket.
It's naturally anti-inflammatory and packed with antioxidants, so you're treating your body while treating yourself.
Once you master this, you can tweak it endlessly to match your mood and preferences.

Never let the milk boil. It changes the flavor and breaks the delicate spice balance. Medium heat is your friend here.
Black pepper is not a garnish, it's an essential ingredient. It increases turmeric absorption in your body by up to 2000 percent.
Constant whisking keeps the spices from settling to the bottom and ensures a smooth, cohesive drink rather than a grainy one.

Invest in a small milk frother if you enjoy this drink regularly. It's one of the best kitchen purchases I've made and elevates every cup.
Keep your spices in airtight containers away from light and heat. Fresh spices make a dramatic difference in flavor and their health benefits.
Make a spice blend ahead of time and store it in a small jar. Then you can make this in under five minutes any morning.
