Estimated, not verified. These numbers are calculated from typical ingredient data and haven't been checked against a lab or your brands. Check the labels of what you buy and confirm anything that matters to you, especially sodium, sugar and allergens.
* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Put the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, pepper and allulose in a small pot. Add 2 tbsp of the almond milk and stir to a paste.
Done looks like: Smooth orange paste, no dry powder. Stir in the rest of the almond milk. Heat on medium, stirring now and then, until steaming. Don't let it boil.
Done looks like: Wisps of steam and tiny bubbles at the edge, after about 3–4 minutes. Pour through a small sieve into a mug to catch the ginger. Taste and add allulose if you like it sweeter.
Equipment
Medium pot with lid, about 2 L (2 qt) $15–35
What to look for
- Lid that fits snugly
- Thick base so it does not scorch
Skip: Glass lids that fog up are fine; copper is not needed.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Gritty, powder at the bottom of the mug | The spices went straight into all the milk and clumped. | Make the paste first. Stir the mug before each sip; turmeric settles. |
| Thin and watery | Almond milk has little body. | Stir in 1 tbsp heavy cream, or make the nut-free version with dairy milk. |
