If you prefer, you may swap the cow’s milk for oat milk, almond milk, pea milk, or hemp milk. Additionally, you may also add honey or maple syrup to sweeten the taste, as the black pepper does provide a bitter flavor.

- ceylon cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and has been shown in research to have beneficial effects on health.
- nutmeg is another popular spice with beneficial compounds. Because it contains several powerful antioxidants, research has shown the correlation between nutmeg and prevention of cell damage and chronic diseases.
