Notes

  • The calorie information listed in the below nutrition label is for Turmeric Golden milk made with unsweetened almond milk. If you decide to use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, the calorie count goes up to 549 calories.
  • Storage and reheating: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to reheat, simply place it in a saucepan and warm it on the stove until it is warmed through (I do not recommend boiling it for a long time.)
  • Golden paste: If you are short on time or want to make this Ayurvedic drink a part of your daily routine, alternatively, you can make it in just a few minutes by using my golden paste recipe.
