GOLDEN MILK

50g

Wanna prepare your own golden milk latte ?

coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk! You can also play around with mixing two different types of milk.

Turmeric is what gives this golden milk latte the vibrant golden yellow color and also it’s distinct flavor. Turmeric is a member of the ginger family and the plant is known for its healing properties such as its anti-inflammatory effect and positive effect on cholesterol. I prefer to use ground turmeric in this recipe but you can also use fresh turmeric, just thinly slice up a little less than an inch of fresh turmeric for this recipe.

Peppercorns are added to this golden milk latte because the piperine from black pepper works with the curcumin in turmeric to enhance absorption in the body. Plus, the pepper adds a nice depth of flavor, too.

Ginger adds a nice kick of flavor to this golden milk latte. In Ayurvedic medicine, ginger is known as the “universal remedy” which makes sense because there are multiple possible benefits from soothing an upsetting stomach to easing nausea.

Cinnamon is added to this recipe by simmering a whole stick of cinnamon. in the milk, adding flavor as well as powerful antioxidants.

Honey is used to sweeten the drink and you can add an amount that works for you.

Coconut Oil adds extra creaminess to this golden milk. I view this ingredient as optional, especially when I use a milk with higher fat content like whole dairy, full-fat coconut, or cashew milk.
