Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
- 1-2 teaspoon Turmeric ground powder or 1-2 teaspoon fresh chopped root
- pinch black pepper or cayenne pepper
Optional Flavor Additions
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
To make with Ground Turmeric
- Add milk, ground turmeric and pepper and other ingredients into a mug and froth with a hand frother or stir vigorously if you don't have a frother.1 cup dairy-free milk, 1-2 teaspoon Turmeric, pinch black pepper or cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ginger, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- To warm, put in microwave for 1 minute. Sprinkle with cinnamon and you have a Golden Milk Latte!
- To serve cold, pour over ice or refrigerate.
To make with Fresh Turmeric root
- Chop ½-1 inch of root (unpeeled) which makes 1-2 teaspoon chopped. Add it and milk and pepper to a blender jar. However, beware that the turmeric can stain a blender jar so I'd advise using ground turmeric and make it in a mug dedicated to golden milk.
- If you do blend, pour the mixture through a strain and reserve the liquid as your golden milk.
Storage
- Drink a single mug fresh, but if you want to make several mugs at a time, do so and refrigerate for one week.

Notes
1.Turmeric stains: Be careful, turmeric stains fingers, clothes, mugs and blender jars so I use a frother, make it in one mug I reserve for turmeric drinks.
2. Drinking one golden milk daily calms and fights inflammation among other benefits. However, drinking more can cause stomach upset among other issues. [source]
3. It's best to drink with a straw if you drink it daily as turmeric can stain teeth yellow.
4. Want it sweeter? Add some maple syrup. You can add other spices too such as cinnamon and ginger.
5. The easiest way to froth this golden milk is with a hand-frother, but if you don't have one simply pour the drink in a jar and shake hard.
