Golden Milk
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Servings: 3 servings, 1 cup each
Ingredients:
1½ tsp turmeric
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp cardamom
¼ tsp black pepper
1 can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
2 cups whole milk
1-inch piece of ginger
3 Tbsp honey
Directions:
Add all ingredients except the honey to the pan. Bring the pot up to a simmer (do not boil) and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Grate fresh ginger into the mixture and whisk to combine.
Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove the fibrous ginger pieces.
Return the golden milk to the pot and bring it back to a low simmer. Add honey to taste. Whisk until the honey has melted.
Enjoy hot!
Notes:
*Thai Kitchen is my favorite brand of coconut milk, easily found at my local Walmart. I prefer this over the cheaper alternatives for texture, flavor, and quality.
**You can use any type of milk you have on hand. I love making this with unsweetened almond milk, but it’s great with whole milk, too! Keep in mind, the higher fat content of any dairy milk you use, the less likelihood of curdling.
