Golden Milk (Turmeric Milk)
Description
Golden Milk (Turmeric Milk) is prepared by gently heating milk—dairy or dairy-free—with turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper, and a natural sweetener such as maple syrup or honey. The ingredients are simmered together to allow the flavors to meld, resulting in a warm, golden-hued drink with subtle earthy and sweet notes. The black pepper is included to improve the bioavailability of turmeric's compounds.
This traditional beverage is smooth and soothing, suitable for enjoying as a calming drink during cooler times of day or as part of a relaxing routine. Optional additions like coconut oil or spices such as ginger and cardamom can be added to customize the flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk dairy or dairy-free

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Optional

- additional spices or flavors such as ginger, cardamom, or vanilla extract.
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
