Equipment
- Saucepan
- Stovetop
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 3 cups Organic natural milk of choice, such as oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or cows milk
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1/8 tsp cardamom (optional)
- a pinch of black pepper
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (skip if you use a full-fat coconut cream or milk)
- maple syrup, agave syrup, or honey while brewing on the stove. Sweeten to taste - we usually use about 2 tbsp per 3 cups of milk.
- other optional ingredients: vanilla extract or vanilla powder
Instructions
- Gently heat your milk of choice in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat.
- Once the milk is warm, add the called-for spices, oil, and sweetener.
- Use a whisk to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.
- Continue to heat for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Serve immediately and enjoy warm.
- Golden milk is also delicious cold over ice, though I wouldn't recommend using oil in the recipe in that case.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
- I recommend re-heating leftovers on the stovetop (rather than in a microwave) to preserve maximum nutritional value.
