Place all ingredients except raw honey, blood orange juice and tart cherry juice into a small saucepan and allow flavors to melt together. You can heat the milk up if you like, but do not allow it to boil. It is traditionally served warm.
After 20 minutes, add in the raw honey, blood orange juice and tart cherry juice and place the hot turmeric milk into a blender or use an immersion stick to blend the milk until smooth. Pour into two mugs and enjoy immediately!
