Notes

  • Use a fine mesh strainer if concerned about lumps. 
  • You may also wish to use a sifter to add cinnamon for garnish for an even finish.
  • If you'd like an iced turmeric latte, consider adding ice to your mug before pouring.
  • For an additional boost, enjoy a splash of espresso for a morning pick-me-up.
  • Freshly grated spices may also be used. In this case, boil for a bit longer and strain before pouring. 
  • The fat in the coconut milk and the pinch of black pepper help to boost the bioavailability of the active compound in turmeric that provides the anti-inflammatory benefits.
Enjoy!
