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.

Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Heat almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm (not boiling).

  2. Whisk in turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and coconut oil.

  3. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking to prevent clumping.

  4. Sweeten with honey to taste, if desired.

  5. Strain into a mug and enjoy warm.
