Golden Turmeric Milk

Directions

In a small saucepan, add coconut oil, black pepper,  ground turmeric and cinnamon stick. Heat gently until ghee is melted and cook slowly for 5 minutes being careful not to burn. Add milk, ground ginger and sweetener of choice. Whisk to combine and warm until hot to the touch but not boiling - about 4 minutes - whisking frequently.

 Best when fresh, though leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until hot.
