Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- fine sea salt, pinch of
- Large pinch ground cinnamon, cloves, ginger or nutmeg (optional)
- 2 cups unsweetened plain almondmilk or coconut milk beverage
Method
Stir together coconut oil, honey, turmeric, cardamom, pepper, salt and other spices (if using) in a small saucepan.
Place over medium heat and stir until coconut oil melts.
Whisk in almondmilk and cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbles form around the edges of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from heat, cover and let steep 5 minutes.
Pour into 2 mugs and add more honey, if desired.
Alternatively, you can double or triple the quantities of coconut oil, honey and spices and cook them just a minute or two, then refrigerate for up to 1 month. To serve, spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a mug with 1 cup milk and reheat. (The oil will solidify on the top, so spoon from the bottom to get an even mix.)
