It’s easy, it’s dairy-free milk, it’s naturally sweetened, incredibly healthy, and so delicious. Plus, it’s ready in only 5 minutes!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups light coconut milk
1 1/2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk
1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 whole cinnamon stick (or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon)
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 pinch ground black pepper
Sweetener of choice (i.e. maple syrup, coconut sugar, or stevia to taste)

Directions:

To a small saucepan, add coconut milk, almond milk, ground turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon stick, coconut oil, black pepper, and

sweetener of choice

Whisk to combine and warm over medium heat. Heat until hot to the touch but not boiling – about 4 minutes – whisking frequently.

Turn off heat and taste to adjust flavor. Add more sweetener to taste or more turmeric or ginger for intense spice + flavor.

Serve immediately, dividing between two glasses and leaving the cinnamon stick behind. Best when fresh, though leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until hot.
