Golden Milk

Creamy, easy golden milk with dairy-free milk, ginger, turmeric, and coconut oil. Naturally sweetened, incredibly healthy, and so delicious. Ready in just 5 minutes!
Servings: 2 glasses

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups light coconut milk canned is best, but carton works too
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk DIY or store-bought
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger see notes for fresh*
  • 1 whole cinnamon stick or 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon // I prefer the stick!
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • Sweetener of choice i.e. maple syrup, coconut sugar, or stevia to taste

Instructions

  • To a small saucepan, add coconut milk, almond milk, ground turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon stick, coconut oil, black pepper, and 1 Tbsp maple syrup which is usually the sweetener of choice.
  • Whisk to combine and warm over medium heat. Heat until hot to the touch but not boiling - about 8 minutes - whisking frequently.
  • Turn off heat and taste to adjust flavor. Add more sweetener to taste or more turmeric or ginger for a more intense flavor.
  • Serve immediately, dividing between two glasses and leaving the cinnamon stick behind. Best when fresh, though leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave until hot.

Notes

*If using fresh ginger, I suggest grating 1-2 Tbsp (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) into the mixture and then using a fine mesh strainer when serving to strain out the ginger for creamy texture.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without sweetener.
