Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon honey (up to 1 tablespon or more, to taste) (can sub pure maple syrup for vegan version)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (can sub 1-2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger, to taste)
1 5- inch cinnamon stick (can sub 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil (optional*)
Pinch freshly ground black pepper*
1/2 vanilla bean (seeds scraped and entire bean added)
2-3 cardamom pods (crushed)
1 star anise
Pinch ground cayenne pepper
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
Black peppercorns

Steps:

Set a small saucepan over low heat. Add the almond milk, 1 teaspoon honey, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon stick, and black pepper and stir with a whisk until combined.
Bring to steaming, just below a simmer. Do not let it come to a boil. Keep just below a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat. Remove the cinnamon stick. If you added other spices that need to be strained out, strain using a fine mesh strainer then return to the pan. Stir in the vanilla and coconut oil (if using). Taste and add additional honey if desired (I like about 2 teaspoons).
Use a frother to froth the tea, if desired. Pour into a mug and spoon the froth over the top. Serve.
