• 3 tbsp coconut oil

• Freshly ground black pepper

LATTE:

• 2 cups coconut milk

• 1″ piece ginger, peeled and sliced into thin coins

• Honey, to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: Whisk together the turmeric powder with 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until paste- like. Remove from heat and whisk in coconut oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.

STEP 2: Combine the coconut milk, cinnamon stick, ginger, honey if using and 1 tablespoon turmeric paste in a medium saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a slow simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to steep. Remove from the heat and strain, then serve immediately.
