Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 cups plant-based, dairy-free milk I used cashew milk. Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk like almond, coconut or oat milk.
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric powder
- ⅛ cup maple syrup use any sweetener of choice (agave syrup, coconut sugar, stevia to taste)
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks or ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 slice fresh ginger, 1 cm thick whole peeled piece. Or substitute it with ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- 1 pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- I used homemade cashew milk for preparing this creamy vegan Golden Milk recipe. However, you can use any plant-based milk like coconut milk or almond milk. Firstly, combine all ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat over medium for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently so that all spices combine well. I don't recommend you boil the milk. Rather just bring it to a gentle simmer and serve immediately or store it for later. Extended high heat destroys some of the beneficial characteristics of turmeric. However, a small exposure to heat actually helps increase its absorption and solubility.
- Serve immediately, dividing it between two cups and leaving the cinnamon sticks and the piece of ginger behind. You can drink it any time of the day but I find it to be especially comforting and relaxing before bed. Enjoy it warm or cold. It's a perfect morning pick-me-up or cozy afternoon drink.
