Step-by-Step Preparation
- Measure 500 ml (about 2 cups) water and 700 ml oat drink for Golden Oat-Milk Tonic II; heat them separately over low heat so neither addition dilutes or cools the next stage unexpectedly.
- Warm the oat drink slowly without bringing it to a rolling boil. Use low heat for 4–6 minutes, stirring every minute, until steam wisps rise and tiny bubbles ring the edge without a boil.
- Whisk in turmeric and ground fennel until evenly dispersed. Whisk for 50 seconds, scraping the bottom and corners until no dry pockets or lumps remain.
- Remove from heat, add the ghee, and serve the tonic warm. Keep the heat off for 2 minutes, stir until the final addition dissolves or disperses, and serve warm rather than piping hot.
- Let Golden Oat-Milk Tonic II settle for 5 minutes, check that it is warm or gently cool rather than extreme in temperature, and divide it evenly among four cups.
