My friend Becky Cole shared a lovely golden milk recipe last year. I’ve adapted it a bit and it’s been one of my “colder temperature” favourites ever since. I am so glad I get to share the warming drink with you today.
Ingredients for the golden milk paste:
120ml water
35g ground tumeric
1 1/2 tsp freshly groud black pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger powder
80g coconut oil (melted and at room temperature)
100g honey or maple syrup
1) Mix the powdery ingredients with the water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for up to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool down for about 5 minutes.
2) Add the melted coconut oil and continue stirring until all ingredients are properly mixed together.
3) Once the paste has cooled down to body temperature, add in the honey or maple syrup. Stir everything until the mixture is “paste-like”.
4) Pour the paste into a clean (sterilised) jar and leave to cool for about an hour. Seal the jar and place it in the fridge (ideally, stir the paste a few times over the course of several hours until it solidifies).
5) You can store the paste in your fridge for up to four weeks.
For the actual drink (once you use the paste) you also need:
plant milk: my favourite is oat milk but I also like coconut and almond for this recipe
optional: freshly grated ginger
optional: maple syrup or honey for a bit more sweetness
1) Warm up the milk over medium heat and add 1 tsp of your golden milk paste (if you make more than 1 portion of golden milk, add 1 tsp per mug).
2) Wisk the milk until the paste is disolved.
3) If you’d like add a tiny bit of freshly grated ginger to your drink. If you’d like a bit more sweetness, add a bit of honey or maply syrup.
4) Pour into your favourite mug & enjoy.
Wishing you all a very heiter autumn!
