Warm the milk: Add milk to a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
Add the spices: Whisk in turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and black pepper.
Stir in the ghee and sweetener: Add ghee and your sweetener of choice (jaggery, maple syrup, or wait to add honey later). Stir to combine.
Simmer gently: Heat the mixture until hot but not boiling, about 3–5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add vanilla: If using, stir in a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Strain: Pour mixture through a sieve to catch pieces of ginger and course pieces of black pepper or cardamom.
Cool slightly if using honey: Remove from heat and let the milk cool for a minute or two before adding honey.
Froth if desired: Use a milk frother to get that latte-style foam on top
