Notes
Additional Notes:
- Adjust the spices to your preference to get the desired flavors you enjoy.
- You may adjust the type of milk used (soy, oat, dairy milk, etc.). FYI: Cow's milk and soy milk will add more protein, and using a milk with higher fat content will increase absorption of beneficial curcumin.
- For vegans: Make this turmeric coffee recipe vegan by substituting maple syrup or agave nectar for the honey.
- If turmeric causes you stomach upset, cut back to 1/4 teaspoon-1/2 teaspoon per the entire recipe and consume it with a meal, not on an empty stomach.
