1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium-low heat.
2. Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper until the spices are evenly mixed.
3. Add the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract, then whisk again until smooth.

Notes
Do not boil the golden milk, or the texture can lose its smooth creaminess and the spices may taste harsh instead of warm and balanced.
