FAQs

Can I use regular dairy milk instead of non-dairy?

Yes, regular dairy milk works well in this recipe and will give a creamier texture while maintaining the warm, spicy flavors.

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup non-dairy milk of choice (such as coconut or almond milk)
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• Pinch black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp sweetener to taste (such as maple syrup, agave, or honey)

Instructions

1. Blender Method: Add the turmeric, black pepper, cinnamon, ground ginger, and sweetener into a blender. Heat your non-dairy milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop or microwave until hot. Pour the heated milk into the blender with the spices and blend on high for 20-30 seconds until smooth and frothy. Pour the golden milk into a mug and enjoy. Alternatively, blend all ingredients first, then heat on the stovetop—both approaches work well.
2. Stovetop Method: Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously while heating until the mixture is steaming and frothy. Optionally, use an electric milk frother to create a creamy froth. Pour into a mug and serve warm.
3. Iced Golden Milk Method: To make iced golden milk, either skip heating in the blender method and blend all ingredients cold, or stir the spices and sweetener into a small amount of water to form a paste in a glass, then mix in cold non-dairy milk and ice cubes as desired. Stir well and enjoy chilled.

Notes

• The black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin.
• Adjust sweetness to your preference using maple syrup, agave, honey, or your favorite sweetener.
• Non-dairy milks like almond, coconut, or oat milk work best for a creamy texture.
• This beverage can be enjoyed hot or cold depending on your taste or season.
• Use fresh ground spices for the best flavor and health benefits.
