How to make turmeric hot chocolate:

In a sauce pan combine the milk, cocoa powder, turmeric and coconut oil. Give it a good whisk and bring to a boil. Whisk occasionally to get rid of any turmeric or cocoa lumps and to make sure the milk won’t stick to the bottom of the sauce pan.

When you bring it to a boil, turn off the heat and stir in black pepper and cayenne pepper. Now all you have to do is pour this in cups and serve.

Can I substitute some of the ingredients?

Yes. You can substitute some of the ingredients. Just bear in mind that certain ingredients are used in this turmeric hot chocolate on purpose. For example: Coconut oil and black pepper help your body absorb the curcuma from turmeric. If you don’t have coconut oil, add some butter instead. I don’t recommend omitting black pepper.

Cayenne pepper can be omitted. Instead of honey you can use any sweetener of your choice.

As for the milk: I personally haven’t tried using dairy-free milk but I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t work.
