In reply to Jack Skell. Those are great suggestions. For most people oxalates are not a problem but if they are for you, then those swaps are a good idea.

Prove me wrong, adding Cardamom to the recipe makes it better.

Adding cloves, star anise… maybe not…

Also, you can mitigate the load on the kidneys by adding pomegranate powder. Pomegranate is associated with expulsion of calcium oxalate crystal.

Turmeric is a high oxalate food. So is black pepper; but white pepper has much less oxalates… but still significant piperene content. I’d put it to you that white pepper is bettet for the recipe, because with white pepper you minimize oxalate intake while getting the full bioavailability boost

Coumarin is fat soluble and in the cinnamon sludge. You can create cinnamon extract with minimal coumarin by boiling or steeping a cinnamon stick in water (no fat) straining the liquid and then adding it to the drink.

The 3″ cinnamon stick is not ground, so you don’t consume the whole thing (I would assume). In those amounts the stick is used whole to infuse the flavour into the drink. Are there studies on how this toxin is released into liquid?

Why not just add turmeric, a pinch of black pepper, triphala to 1/4 cup of water and just gulp it down like a shot? That is what I do. Reserve the coconut milk etc., for a time when you want to make a tasty drink that you can actually enjoy.
