Set pot on medium heat and add two cups of almond milk.
Add 1 tsp of turmeric powder and mix well.
Then add a cinnamon stick, a tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of black pepper.
Once all the ingredients are added, bring the pot to boil.
And there you have it — your hot cup of turmeric milk with its endless health benefits. Enjoy!
