Notes

  • Always include black pepper to enhance absorption of turmeric’s curcumin.
  • Use fresh turmeric if available for brighter flavor and more benefits.
  • Do not boil the milk to prevent bitterness and preserve nutrients.
  • Whisk vigorously to prevent clumps and ensure smooth texture.
  • Experiment with different plant-based milks to find your preferred flavor.
