- 1 cup milk any type (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.5 tsp ashwagandha powder
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.25 tsp ginger powder optional
- 0.25 tsp cinnamon powder optional

- 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine milk, ashwagandha powder, turmeric powder, ginger powder (if using), cinnamon powder (if using), and black pepper.

Notes
For a vegan option, use any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your preference. Adding a tiny pinch of freshly ground black pepper can significantly enhance the absorption of turmeric's beneficial compounds. You can also add a small amount of coconut oil for creaminess and increased absorption.
