Healing Golden Milk

/

Golden milk is a traditional Ayurvedic beverage with many health benefits. The ingredients have antibacterial and antiviral properties and the antioxidants help strengthen your immune system. Golden milk is simple to make at home. For a single serving of golden milk or about one cup, simply follow this recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 c of an unsweetened milk of your choice (I used almond milk)

  • 1 t of turmeric

  • 1 small piece of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 t of ginger powder

  • 1/2 t of cinnamon powder

  • 1 pinch of black pepper

  • 1 t of raw honey or maple syrup

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until fragrant and flavorful. Strain the drink through a fine strainer into mugs and top with a pinch of cinnamon and/or drizzle with honey. Enjoy hot or at room temperature! Especially good as a bedtime drink!
