Golden Milk (Turmeric Latte)
Golden Milk is pure comfort in a cup!
Warm, creamy, and packed with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper, it’s not just delicious—it’s loaded with anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting goodness.
Perfect for unwinding at night or as a soothing start to the day when I want something caffeine-free but still nourishing. Feels like a hug from the inside out!
Ingredients
(Serves 1-2)
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for a richer texture)
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for natural sweetness)
1 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee (for better absorption of turmeric’s benefits)
1 pinch black pepper (enhances curcumin absorption in turmeric)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon Maca powder (optional, for energy and hormone balance)
Instructions
Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the almond (or coconut) milk, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Whisk in the Spices: Add the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, vanilla extract, and coconut oil/ghee.
Whisk well to combine and let it simmer (not boil) for 5 minutes to infuse the flavours.
Sweeten & Blend (Optional): Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup (if using).
For an ultra-creamy texture, blend the mixture for 30 seconds using an immersion blender or a high-speed blender.
Serve & Enjoy: Pour into a mug, sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon, and enjoy warm!
