Turmeric and Cinnamon in Coffee for Weight Loss
A five-minute spiced coffee made with brewed coffee, turmeric, cinnamon, optional ginger, and black pepper. Honey or coconut/MCT oil can be added for taste or texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly brewed black coffee
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Ceylon or cassia
- ¼ teaspoon fresh grated ginger or ground ginger optional
- 1 teaspoon honey or a natural sweetener optional
- A pinch of black pepper optional
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or MCT oil optional, for a richer texture
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup of black coffee using your preferred brewing method.
- Add the turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger, if using, to the serving mug.
- Pour in the freshly brewed coffee and stir thoroughly until no dry pockets of spice remain.
- Stir in the honey, if using. If adding coconut or MCT oil, whisk or froth until evenly dispersed.
- Serve immediately. Stir once more before drinking if some of the ground spices settle at the bottom.
Notes
Ground spices do not fully dissolve in coffee, so a little settling is normal. Honey and coconut or MCT oil are optional and will change the nutrition values. This beverage has not been shown to cause meaningful weight loss on its own.
