This Golden Milk recipe is made with a turmeric paste and has hints of vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and cardamon. Enjoy this warm spiced golden milk every day for a healthy morning drink. This Golden Milk recipe makes a small jar of turmeric paste, which you can quickly whisk into your daily cup of spiced Golden Milk.
In a small saucepan, add in the water and all the spices, except the turmeric. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat. Simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes (you want the amount water to reduce to about ½ cup). Remove the spices.
Add in the turmeric and coconut oil, and cook, over low heat for about 5 minutes, until a paste forms. If needed, add in more water by the tablespoon.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
Make the Golden Milk
Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave, until warmed. Whisk in your desired about of turmeric paste and coconut sugar. Dust with cinnamon on top.
Serve warm.
Notes
I recommend making a fresh batch of turmeric paste every week or so, but opinions differ and some people save it for a few weeks at a time.
