A healthy hot drink that you can make with pantry items!
Hey reader,
Feeling a little blah after the holiday weekend? I have a healing and soothing hot drink recipe that will make you feel great!
When the weather gets chilly, I love making myself a mug of Golden Milk to relax and warm me up from the inside out. Many of you already have my favorite recipe for Golden Milk because it's the one I share in our second cookbook, Ready or Not!
In the spirit of the holidays, I've shared the recipe on the blog and iOS app!
Psst! If you got a new iPhone and your app is missing recipes or acting funny, just delete the app from your device and download it again for free. That automagically fixes the problem!
Golden Milk is a traditional hot Indian drink made with turmeric and milk. If you're at a hipster coffee shop, it might be called turmeric latte or turmeric milk.
Turmeric's been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to treat a wide range of conditions, and modern research suggests that it may help reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, and treat digestive problems.
But to be better absorbed in our bodies, turmeric needs to be consumed with a bit of fat and piperine, which is why it's often combined with coconut milk and black pepper.
What's it taste like?
Golden Milk tastes like mildly sweetened coconut milk infused with earthy, spicy, and slightly bitter flavors.
I like making this hot beverage with fresh turmeric and ginger root when I can find them at the market, but ground turmeric and ginger also work. In fact, you may already have all the ingredients in your pantry right now to make this fabulous elixir!
By the way, my favorite ground turmeric is from Diaspora Co., a product I recommend on my 2020 Holiday Gift Guide.
