Instructions
Combine the milk, honey, almond butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and any optional spices in a small saucepan.
Heat over medium until warmed through, whisking briskly so that the almond butter does not stick to the bottom and the spices incorporate. Do not let boil.
Notes
Optional additions: tiny pinch of ground black pepper, ground cardamom, or ground cloves.
To store - keep leftovers in an airtight container, such as a mason jar or travel mug, for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
To reheat - warm on the stove, stirring to recombine the spices and almond butter. If reheating in the microwave, stir every 20 to 30-second interval, and keep a close eye on it so it does not bubble over.
It is recommended to avoid feeding infants any foods containing raw or cooked honey.
