Instructions
In a thick bottomed pan, add coconut milk, water and almond milk. Heat on a low flame for 5 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, black pepper powder, coconut oil, cinnamon powder, ginger powder and jaggery. You can also use freshly grated turmeric/ginger roots, and cinnamon bark pieces. Just remember to filter the turmeric milk through a fine-mesh sieve before drinking.
Give it all a stir and increase the heat to medium.
As the turmeric and spice powders start to blend in, the milk will turn golden yellow.
Allow the golden milk to heat up, but don't allow it to boil. Taste the milk and adjust spices and sweetner to your taste. It should taste warm, inviting, slightly spicy with a gentle hint of sweetness.
Ladle this golden goodness into 4 cups. Sprinkle a few saffron strands on each. Drink hot and allow the golden glow to permeate through your entire body!
Notes
Notes:
This golden turmeric milk tastes best when it is fresh. However, you can refrigerate up to 2-3 days.
You can use dairy milk or other plant-based milks like oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk or rice milk. These milks may not be as thick as coconut milk, so adjust accordingly.
You can also add a small pinch of freshly ground cardamom just before you turn off the heat.
If you are using fresh ginger and/or fresh turmeric roots, grate them into the golden milk. Before consuming, use a fine-mesh sieve to filter the strands out.
