Instructions

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat without boiling.
Add turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper. Whisk continuously to combine and prevent clumps.
Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Turn off the heat and stir in honey or maple syrup.
Pour into a mug and serve warm.

Notes

Use plant-based milk for a dairy-free version. Always add black pepper to improve turmeric absorption. Avoid boiling to preserve flavor and texture. Adjust sweetness to taste with honey or maple syrup.
