This recipe serves 2 people.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (helps with absorption of curcumin in turmeric)

Health Benefits of Turmeric Golden Milk:
Turmeric Golden Milk is not only trendy but also a powerhouse of health benefits. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, thanks to its active compound curcumin. When paired with black pepper, curcumin absorption is significantly enhanced. The combination of turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon helps reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and support immune function. This warm drink is often enjoyed as a caffeine-free alternative to coffee or tea, providing a cozy, soothing effect.

Diets:
This recipe fits into a variety of dietary lifestyles, including:

  • Vegan: When made with almond milk or any plant-based milk and sweetened with maple syrup.
  • Vegetarian
  • Paleo: Use full-fat coconut milk and omit the sweeteners or use natural ones like maple syrup.
  • Mediterranean: Focuses on anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and healthy fats from coconut oil.
  • Keto: Use full-fat coconut milk and avoid the sweeteners, or use a keto-friendly sweetener like stevia.
  • Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free.
  • Dairy-Free: When made with almond milk or any plant-based milk.
  • Low-Carb: With minimal carbs from the unsweetened almond milk and optional honey.

Customization Options:
Golden Milk can be customized in several ways. For a richer, creamier drink, substitute half of the almond milk with coconut milk. You can also add other spices like cardamom or nutmeg for extra warmth. For those who want an immune boost, add a small pinch of ground cayenne pepper. The drink can be enjoyed warm, but during the summer months, it’s just as delicious served cold over ice.

When to Enjoy:
Golden Milk is perfect for any time of day, but it’s especially popular as a soothing bedtime drink due to its relaxing properties. It’s caffeine-free, making it a great choice for those looking to cut back on coffee or tea. It can also be enjoyed in the morning to start your day with a dose of anti-inflammatory goodness.

Notes:

  • Storage: You can store any leftover golden milk in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving and stir well, as the spices may settle.
  • Curcumin absorption: Don’t skip the black pepper—it helps your body absorb curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, more effectively.
  • Sweeteners: Adjust the sweetness to your liking, or omit it entirely for a sugar-free version.

This Turmeric Golden Milk is a comforting, health-boosting drink that’s been embraced by wellness communities and health enthusiasts around the world. It’s easy to make, packed with flavor, and offers a range of health benefits to support overall well-being.
