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.
