- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 cinnamon stick

- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds

Preparation
- In a small container, combine the corn starch with ~ 2-3 tablespoons of plant milk until smooth. Add this mixture along with the rest of the milk, sugar, vanilla, and spices to a saucepan.
