Notes

• This recipe serves 2 cups (480 ml).
• For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
• Adjust the sweetness and spice levels to suit your taste preferences.
• To enhance the bioavailability of turmeric, including black pepper is crucial.
• I make my own plant-based milk using the MioMat Automatic Nut Milk Maker, which ensures the freshest and creamiest nut milk for my recipes.
