Golden Milk Latte

1. In a small saucepan, combine almond milk, hot water, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon stick, star anise, vanilla, and maple syrup.
2. Heat over medium-low, whisking occasionally, until hot but not boiling (about 3–5 minutes).
3. Remove from heat and add coconut oil and black pepper. Give everything one more good stir or use a handheld frother to mix/froth it up.
4. You can strain if desired, or just remove the cinnamon stick and star anise. Pour into a mug. Optional: top with frothy almond milk. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and add a star anise as garnish.
