Golden Milk

I usually make golden milk with soy milk, but that is strictly my taste preference. Use the milk of your choice.

Ingredients

2 ½ cups unsweetened milk of your choice
1 stick cinnamon or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, more as garnish at the end
2 inches fresh turmeric, sliced or 1 ½ teaspoon ground turmeric spice
1 inch fresh ginger, sliced or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil, or any other neutral tasting vegetable oil like avocado oil, olive oil (a mildly flavored), etc.
Pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon maple syrup , or honey (more to taste)

Directions

  1. Place milk, cinnamon stick, turmeric, ginger, coconut oil, and black pepper in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook, stirring frequently, until warm but not boiling.
  3. Give it a taste and add in your sweetener.
  4. If you used fresh turmeric and ginger, strain it to your cups. If not, divide it in two mugs.
  5. If preferred, sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Serve.
