Tips for making Golden Milk:

  • Be certain to include black pepper in your golden milk as the compound piperine in black pepper greatly helps you absorb the benefits of the curcumin in the turmeric!
  • You can omit the coconut oil if you prefer, but since turmeric is fat-soluble, including coconut oil can further help with the absorption of the curcumin in the turmeric.
  • Don’t like it spicy but still want to enjoy a stellar golden milk recipe? Simply omit the cayenne pepper in this recipe.
  • Some of the spices may settle in the bottom of your cup. You can stir or swirl your cup occasionally while enjoying or you can even mix the ‘paste’ leftover in the bottom of the cup with more milk and heat up to enjoy a second cup.
  • For extra flavor you could use this yummy warm almond milk recipe as the base for this golden milk.
  • You can double or triple the recipe and mix the spices ahead of time to store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for quicker and easier use when you go to enjoy a cup. Simply add the milk and oil to a portion your golden milk powder mix, heat and enjoy!
  • If you do not find turmeric very palatable, adding a teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup to your golden milk will help with taking the edge off some of the bitterness you may not usually enjoy.

    I have had this recipe set aside for some time, waiting until I could get my hands on some cardamom before finally making it. I did so this evening! I was expecting to really enjoy it, and in some ways I did, but wow, spicy drink loving me can’t take quite this much of a kick. Seriously, I have been looking for a burning chai tea for years, but this spicy golden milk just didn’t give me a pleasurable drinking experience, it made me hurriedly reach for a glass of water. I measured everything correctly, and even added some maple syrup, but next time I’m going to scale back on the cayenne for sure, if not the ginger as well. I don’t mean this comment as an insult at all, just sharing my own preference and experience! The recipe is wonderful in so many ways, but I will have to tweak it a little for my own enjoyment.
