Method

  1. 1

    Warm the milk

    Heat the milk gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, without letting it boil.

  2. 2

    Add turmeric and pepper

    Whisk in the turmeric powder and a pinch of black pepper — the pepper helps the body absorb the turmeric more effectively.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes, whisking occasionally, until well combined and lightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Sweeten

    Remove from the heat and stir in the honey and cinnamon if using.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour into cups and serve warm.

Nitra tip

Always include a pinch of black pepper with turmeric — it significantly increases how much of turmeric's active compound the body can absorb.
