Turmeric Ginger Cinnamon Pepper Honey

I’ve been making myself a drink each night that is supposed to be quite healthy and “good for me”.

Chop up a hunk of fresh ginger root. Pour 2 cups of whole milk in a saucepan. Add a teaspoon each of turmeric, ground cinnamon, and black pepper. Boil for 10 minutes and then strain it. Pour it into your cup and add a teaspoon of honey.

I have to say, I am not a fan of milk. I tried it, though, and found it to be quite tasty – but it’s a holy mess on the pan! It takes an industrial strength sander to clean it off, and if you happen to accidentally drip any on your counter, you can forget about ever removing the stain.

I learned through trial and error to:

1. Use a stainless-steel pan
2. Use a stainless-steel spoon to stir with
3. Strain and pour it in the sink

I also decided to switch from milk to water. It’s not only way easier to clean up after, but it’s also quite tasty!

The end result of the drink is quite thick and very spicy. You almost chew the drink rather than swallow. I don’t know if it’s doing anything for me, but I like it so I plan on continuing with it.
