Start Your Morning with ABC (no prescription required!)

This recipe began as a friend’s cozy “Christmas Coffee,” a spiced blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger that filled the kitchen with warmth and comfort. Loved well beyond the holidays, it became a year-round ritual — and eventually, a canvas for something more intentional.

By adding pepper and turmeric for their long-recognized wellness benefits, along with a pinch of baking soda to reduce acidity, this blend evolved into Apothecary Blend Coffee. It’s a simple, thoughtful way to turn an everyday cup of coffee into a grounding morning ritual — flavorful, warming, and just a little bit medicinal in the best way.
