How to make Turmeric Coffee

In a small bowl or cup, combine turmeric, black pepper, and optional spices like cinnamon, ginger, or cayenne.
- Step 3
Whisk the spice mix directly into the hot coffee using a spoon or a handheld frother/blender for smoother consistency.

Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a slightly sweet taste. Stir well.
- Step 5
Serve immediately and enjoy your turmeric coffee while it's warm. Stir occasionally, as turmeric may settle at the bottom.
