Recipe by Jo Kidd

Golden milk is a traditional Ayurvedic anti inflammatory, anti oxidant and immune enhancing drink. In the traditional recipe sesame seed oil is used but for a creamier drink you can use some coconut milk or add coconut oil which will add some good fats. The fats and black pepper make the turmeric more bioavailable in the body.

Serves 2

Into a saucepan add:

  • 2 1/2 cups soy or almond milk (or for creamier drink replace a cup of nut milk with coconut milk)

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric

  • 1 whole cinnamon stick or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger

  • 1 dessertspoon coconut oil if haven't added coconut milk.

  • 1 pinch black pepper 

  • Honey to taste.

Heat and enjoy! 

Tip: to help the herbs dissolve add them into a small amount of the milk first and stir to a paste. Then add the remaining milk.
