Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups non-dairy milk
  • 1 cm fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  • Pour the milk into your pan and add the knob of ginger, turmeric and cinnamon (if using). Heat on low-medium for 5-6 minutes, whisking occasionally, so it gets warm but doesn't boil.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve, then pour back into the saucepan. Pour in the honey and stir until it dissolves into the milk.
  • Pour into your cups and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't let the milk come to a boil, just let it get warm.
  • If you are out of fresh ginger, then ginger powder will work too.
  • I suggest not skipping the step to sieve the milk, it can taste a little gritty otherwise.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
