Equipment

  • Whisk (non-electric)
  • Small strainer

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups plant milk of choice
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger or small knob of root ginger
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • Pour the milk into your pan and sprinkle in the turmeric, ginger and cardamom.
  • Bring the milk to a light simmer, and whisk to infuse the spices into the milk. Heat for 4-5 minutes. Stir through the maple syrup.
  • Place a small strainer over your cup and pour the hot spiced milk through.

Notes

  • Whisk well so the spices infuse into the milk.
  • I suggest not letting it boil as this can affect the flavor. Warm to a very light simmer instead.
  • If cinnamon works for you (for my low histamine readers, it is very debated in terms of histamine level, so only use if you tolerate well), then you can add a small pinch.
  • Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.

  • cardamom scores 0, but has a note (in French) that some varieties may not be well tolerated.
  • non-dairy milk has variable scores.
