Ingredients
Turmeric Paste:
½ cup water
¼ cup ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
Golden Milk:
2 cups almond milk
1 teaspoon extra-virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon raw honey
Directions
To make the turmeric paste: Combine 1/2 cup water, turmeric, and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon water and continue cooking until thickened into a paste, 7 to 9 minutes. Allow to cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Store turmeric paste in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator.
To make turmeric milk: Whisk almond milk, 1 teaspoon of the homemade turmeric paste, coconut oil, ginger, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Place over low heat until hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in honey. Strain milk mixture into 2 mugs.
Cook’s Note
You can use soy, coconut, or rice milk if preferred. Sweeten with maple syrup, stevia, or coconut sugar instead of honey. I like to add 1 tablespoon chia seeds to my single cup.
