- ½ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- Dash of nutmeg
- Splash vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients & Heat: In a small pot over medium heat, add 1 ¼ cup milk of choice, ½ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ⅛ tsp ground ginger, a dash of nutmeg, splash of vanilla extract and 1 tbsp pure maple syrup.

Notes
Straining for Smoothness
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the drink through a fine mesh strainer before serving to remove any undissolved spice particles.
Sweetness Adjustments
Maple syrup adds a warm depth of flavor, but you can swap it for honey, agave, or your preferred sweetener. Adjust to taste.
Frothy Option
For a barista-style frothy texture, use a milk frother or blend the mixture for a few seconds before serving.
Storage & Reheating
If making ahead, store in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
