Turmeric Golden Milk
A centuries-old Ayurvedic drink that’s as soothing as it is healthy. Turmeric’s active compound, curcumin, is a powerful anti-inflammatory. The black pepper helps your body absorb it.

- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, helps absorb curcumin)
Instructions
-
Heat almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm (not boiling).
-
Whisk in turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and coconut oil.
-
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking to prevent clumping.
-
Sweeten with honey to taste, if desired.
-
Strain into a mug and enjoy warm.
