Golden (turmeric) milk could be your next favorite functional drink. If you're skeptical about adding spices to your milk, we get it. But you might be surprised how delicious this is. Our turmeric milk recipe is balanced with cinnamon, ginger, honey, and of course, black pepper, shown to help enhance curcumin absorption in the body when consumed together. Plus, it only takes 5 minutes to make. It's hard to beat that!

Notes
Sweetener of choice works as a replacement for maple syrup (stevia, maple syrup, etc.)
Best when fresh but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat on the microwave or stove.
