Steps

  1. Measure the turmeric, ground ginger, nutmeg and black pepper into a small bowl so they are ready before you heat anything.
  2. Pour the whole milk into a small saucepan and whisk in the spice mixture from the bowl.
  3. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking often, until steaming with small bubbles at the edge, about 5 minutes; do not let it boil.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and whisk in the honey and vanilla until the honey dissolves.
  5. Whisk in the orange juice last, off the heat, so the milk stays smooth; whisk briskly for 30 seconds to make it frothy.
