A glass of black milk with nutmeg garnish

Ingredients

  • Non-dairy milk
    3 cups
    Such as almond, oat, or coconut milk
  • Activated charcoal
    1 tsp
    Approximately three capsules, emptied
  • Vanilla extract or powder
    2 tsp
  • Honey
    3 tsp
    Or adjust to taste
  • Nutmeg
    1 pinch
    For garnish and taste

Instructions

1

Warm the Milk

Pour the nondairy milk into a saucepan and gently bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

2

Mix the Charcoal and Vanilla

In a small bowl, blend the activated charcoal and vanilla extract or powder until well combined.

3

Combine Ingredients

Once the milk is just bubbling, remove it from the heat. If you have a blender, pour the milk in and add the charcoal-vanilla mixture along with the honey. Blend until smooth and fully integrated. Alternatively, use a frother directly in the pan to mix everything together.

4

Froth and Serve

Set aside most of the milk mixture in a cup. Froth the remaining milk in the pan using a frother until you achieve a light foam. Gently spoon this foam over the milk in the cup.

5

Garnish

Lightly sprinkle nutmeg on top for a touch of spice and an aromatic finish.

Notes

Black milk and activated charcoal can interfere with medication and nutrient absorption; consume them separately. Activated charcoal may not suit those with digestive issues and is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Excessive consumption can cause gastrointestinal problems. Consult your healthcare provider with any concerns.

Dosage

It is best to have your black milk drink on an empty stomach and at least two hours prior to taking any medications or vitamins. First thing in the morning is ideal.
