Warm turmeric, cardamom, ginger, and a whisper of cinnamon come together in a golden, fragrant brew that feels like a hug in a mug. Coconut oil gives the base a silky richness while it gently steams on the stove, and a swirl of honey rounds out the spice with just the right amount of sweetness. A touch of vanilla powder deepens the flavor before it all gets strained into a smooth, velvety pour with no gritty spice bits in sight. It's an easy, comforting sip to make on repeat, and it fits neatly into a Paleo routine whether you need a cozy afternoon reset or a slow, spiced way to wind down before bed.

Use a plain, unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes.

Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
