Golden Milk
Lately, turmeric is the health food everyone's talking about. Reap the benefits yourself by brewing a cup of "golden milk," a turmeric tea recipe with milk and spices.
Beautiful golden turmeric is a key ingredient in curry, paella and other delicious dishes. Did you know that turmeric is also a super healthy ingredient in its own right?
One of the most delicious ways to enjoy the health benefits of turmeric is in turmeric tea or “golden milk,” a brew of turmeric, milk and spices.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based milk of your choice, unsweetened)
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ginger (ground spice or grated fresh ginger root)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of ground black pepper | (helps your body to absorb the beneficial curcumins in turmeric)
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup | optional
THE METHOD
Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then immediately lower the heat to a simmer.
Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the entire pot smells deliciously spicy and the milk is a uniform golden color.
Strain the milk into a mug. You can enjoy immediately, or keep pre-made turmeric tea in the refrigerator for a few days.
