Origin and Cultural Significance
Traditional healing systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have long valued natural ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon for their health-boosting properties.

Ingredients (Makes 2 Servings)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1/2 tsp fresh grated)
- Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
- 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee (optional, for richness)
Optional Additions

- 1 tablespoon collagen peptides (for joint and skin support)
- Sprinkle of nutmeg or cardamom
- 1–2 whole black peppercorns simmered and strained (for deeper infusion)
Tips for Success
- Always include a bit of black pepper—it boosts the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
- Use freshly grated ginger if you want a stronger, warming kick.
- Simmer gently, don’t boil—this preserves the nutrients and flavor.
- Add your sweetener last, off heat, to maintain its natural benefits.
- Blend for a frothy, café-style finish.
