Golden Milk with Fresh Turmeric

Sharing is caring!

This recipe for golden milk (or what I like to call turmeric tea, even though there aren't any tea leaves in it) is an antioxidant powerhouse made with fresh turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.

It's also delicious because the base is coconut milk. 

This turmeric tea is super velvety and warming. It's such a wonderful non-dairy drink, that still gives you those super creamy milky vibes. Because it's caffeine-free you can enjoy it in the morning or the evening. It's a lovely drink to sip while enjoying a bath before bed!

How to Make Golden Milk

• Combine the coconut milk, stick of cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, honey, and peppercorns in a small saucepan. 
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. 
• Strain through a small mesh sieve into two cups and dust with a pinch of cinnamon. 
• Serve immediately. 
• Golden milk can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving. 

One more great thing about this recipe - it keeps in the fridge for several days. You can take it to work and reheat it for an afternoon treat! Enjoy.
