Ingredients

Scale

Milk Base

  • 1 cup milk of your choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy)

Spices and Flavorings

  • 1 tsp turmeric powder (or 1/2-inch fresh turmeric root, grated)
  • 1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil or ghee
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk: In a small saucepan, gently warm 1 cup of your chosen milk over medium-low heat. Avoid boiling to preserve the milk’s flavor and nutrients.
  2. Add the spices: Stir in the turmeric powder (or freshly grated turmeric), grated ginger (or ground ginger), cinnamon, black pepper, and coconut oil or ghee. Whisk well to combine everything smoothly.
  3. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This process helps the spices release their full flavor and enhances the health benefits.
  4. Sweeten it: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness.
  5. Strain (optional): If you used fresh turmeric or ginger, you may strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any fibrous bits, though this step is optional depending on your texture preference.
  6. Pour and enjoy: Pour your golden milk into a favorite mug, settle into your coziest spot, and sip slowly to unwind and nourish.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric and ginger for a stronger, fresher flavor and better potency.
  • Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s active compound curcumin, so don’t skip it.
  • You can substitute ghee or coconut oil with another healthy fat if desired.
  • Adjust sweetness according to taste or omit entirely for a more earthy drink.
  • This drink can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference.
  • Golden milk works well as a nighttime drink due to its calming and anti-inflammatory properties.
