Can I substitute some of the ingredients?
Yes. You can substitute some of the ingredients. Just bear in mind that certain ingredients are used in this turmeric hot chocolate on purpose. For example: Coconut oil and black pepper help your body absorb the curcuma from turmeric. If you don’t have coconut oil, add some butter instead. I don’t recommend omitting black pepper.
Cayenne pepper can be omitted. Instead of honey you can use any sweetener of your choice.
As for the milk: I personally haven’t tried using dairy-free milk but I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t work.
