4-Ingredient Golden Milk Mix
Description
The golden milk mix consists primarily of turmeric, a spice known for its earthy flavor and vibrant yellow color, combined with warming spices ginger and cinnamon. Black pepper is added to enhance the absorption of turmeric's compounds. Optional spices such as nutmeg and clove add subtle aromatic notes. This blend is stored dry in a jar for up to three months.
To prepare hot golden milk, a spoonful of the mix is stirred with sweetener and hot water to form a paste, then diluted with dairy-free milk like coconut milk and gently heated until warm but not boiling. For iced golden milk, the paste is mixed with ice cubes and then dairy-free milk is added to chill. The result is a spiced, creamy turmeric beverage that can be adapted to taste by adjusting sweeteners or spice levels.
Ingredients
GOLDEN MILK MIX
- 4 Tbsp Turmeric ground
- 2 tsp ground ginger (plus more to taste)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus more to taste)
- 1 tsp black pepper plus more to taste, ground
ADD-INS (optional)
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground clove
TO MAKE GOLDEN MILK
- 1 heaped tsp golden milk mix (recipe above)
- 1-2 tsp sweetener we prefer maple syrup // or stevia to taste, of choice
- 2 tsp water hot
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (we find light coconut milk to work best here)
Instructions
- To make mix, add all spices (add-ins optional) to a small jar and shake or stir thoroughly to combine. Will keep at room temperature up to 3 months. Or you can store it in the refrigerator if you prefer. Double the recipe if you intend to use it daily (it goes fast!).
- To make HOT golden milk, add 1 heaped tsp Golden Milk Mix, 1-2 tsp sweetener of choice (more or less to taste), and 2 tsp water to a small saucepan. Use a spoon to mix into a loose paste (you want as few clumps as possible). Then add dairy-free milk of choice and whisk to combine. Heat over medium heat until just hot/warm (not boiling).
- To make ICED* golden milk, add 1 heaped tsp Golden Milk Mix, 1-2 tsp sweetener of choice (more or less to taste), and 2 tsp water to a serving glass. Use a spoon to mix into a loose paste (you want as few clumps as possible). Then add several big ice cubes and top with dairy-free milk of choice. Stir to combine.
- In addition to being used to make golden milk, we also think it makes a delicious spice mix for vegetables, soups, smoothies, and more!
Notes
- Store the dry golden milk mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three months.
- For hot beverages, avoid boiling to preserve flavors; warm gently instead.
- Sweetener quantities can be adjusted to taste, with maple syrup or stevia recommended.
- Light coconut milk works well as a dairy-free base, but other plant milks can be used.
