- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup to taste
- Pinch black pepper optional
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, turmeric powder, ashwagandha powder, nutmeg, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of black pepper (if using).
- Heat over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until warm and frothy, but do not boil. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

Use plant-based milk for a vegan option. Adjust sweetness to taste. A pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. For an extra creamy texture, blend all ingredients before heating.
