Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons dried roasted dandelion root
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric)
  • Β½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, unsweetened or lightly sweetened
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ΒΌ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add 2 teaspoons of dried roasted dandelion root to the boiling water.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, uncovered, until a toasty, slightly nutty aroma develops.
  3. Pour the brewed tea through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof mug, discarding the solids.
  4. While the tea is still hot, stir in 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, Β½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper until fully dissolved.
  5. Rinse the saucepan and gently warm 1 cup (240 ml) of oat milk over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes without boiling.
  6. Use a whisk or handheld frother to froth the oat milk until creamy and slightly foamy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  7. Pour the frothed oat milk into the tea mixture. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup and ΒΌ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Garnish with a light dusting of cinnamon or a pinch of turmeric on top. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

If turmeric settles at the bottom, stir before each sip. Keep tea and oat milk separate if preparing ahead to maintain texture. Low and slow heating of oat milk prevents graininess. Black pepper enhances turmeric absorption. Fresh turmeric requires peeling and grating finely. Frothing is optional; vigorous stirring works as a substitute.
