- 2 cups plant milk of your choice I used unsweetened soy milk
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger optional
- A dash of ground black pepper
Add all the ingredients to a saucepan, stir until well combined, and cook over medium heat until hot (about 3-5 minutes). Stir occasionally.
Serve your golden milk immediately.
Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until warm enough.
- If it's your first time trying this recipe, I would add ¼ or ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric, then try it and add more if needed.
- Some recipes call for coconut oil, but I don’t think you need to use it. That way, it will be healthier and lower in fat.
- If you'd like it to be creamier, feel free to blend it.
- For it to be even more flavorful, let it simmer for about 10 minutes before serving.
- You could also use ginger root and turmeric root instead. However, remember to use a strainer before serving.
- I used soy milk, but this golden milk recipe can also be prepared with rice milk or almond milk.
- Although sweetener is optional and you don't have to incorporate it into your golden milk, it will taste better if you do.
- Feel free to use any kind of sweetener.
- Ground black pepper enhances turmeric's properties and absorption, but you can omit it if you don't like how it tastes.
- Incorporate, change, or replace all the spices you want. I sometimes add a dash of cardamom too.
- I'd recommend you make your own vanilla extract at home, as it's healthier and more affordable.
- Although to make this golden milk recipe I've used ground cinnamon, you could also use a cinnamon stick instead. Just remember to remove it before serving.
