In a small pot over low heat, combine one to two teaspoons of ground turmeric, one cup of warm milk, and a pinch of black pepper.
For more flavor, add spices (ginger, cinnamon, cardamom) or sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or date syrup) to taste.
Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors and beneficial compounds to infuse the milk.
Pour the golden milk into a mug and enjoy.
