Yummy Warm and Healing Golden Milk Recipe
Makes 2 servings
What is Golden Milk and Why drink it?
I was turned onto Golden Milk many moons ago by a yoga teacher in Yardley, Pa. Never one to turn down a natural recipe for good health and healing… I gave it a try, and have been drinking it ever since. While it’s warming properties suggest a Northeast cold winter’s night, I can truly say I enjoy it just as much year round, here in southern California.
Golden Milk is an *Ayurvedic drink recipe that offers tons of healing properties. Whether you are trying to reduce inflammation, get some relief from a cold or flu, or want your skin to glow, this soothing drink is guaranteed to offer you much needed comfort. I like to drink it after dinner…as it invites a relaxing evening, reducing anxiety and promoting a restful sleep.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut or almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric spice or 2 inches of whole fresh turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (more to taste)
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Place milk, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, coconut oil and black pepper in a small saucepan
- Cook, stirring frequently, until warm but do not boil. Whisk ingredients to blend evenly
- Add sweetener to taste
If using fresh turmeric, strain into your cups, if not divide into 2 cups and sip away.
Turmeric is best absorbed when a fat and black pepper are present in the recipe.
I hope you enjoy this drink as much as I do.
Peace and Love~
