Dairy Free Golden Milk
Whether you're looking for a soothing nightcap, a comforting pick-me-up, or a way to incorporate more anti-inflammatory ingredients into your diet, golden milk is a delicious and versatile option. So, ditch the sugary drinks and embrace the comforting warmth of golden milk!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk (or any other unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp fresh ginger)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (helps absorb curcumin in turmeric)
- pinch cinnamon (optional)
- honey (to sweeten – optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the plant-based milk, turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until it simmers. Do not let it boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in your sweetener of choice (if using) and any additional spices like cinnamon.
- Strain the milk into a mug if you prefer a smoother texture (optional).
Notes
- For a richer texture, you can use a full-fat coconut milk.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of turmeric and spices to your taste preference.
- You can also add a pinch of cardamom or a dash of nutmeg for a more complex flavor profile.
- For Detox, you can use hemp milk instead of a nut milk.
