Golden Milk (aka Turmeric Milk)

February 18, 2016 15 Comments

TurmericMilk

Watch the step-by-step video HERE.

I promise this will be my last turmeric post for a while but I just can’t stop using this super root ever since discovering it a few weeks back.


I just love its warm, earthy flavor and the nutritional benefits are amazing (anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, etc.).

This recipe is thousands of years old!  Not only is soothing and healing but it’s also great way to curb a sweet tooth and/or unwind from the day.

HELPFUL KITCHEN TOOLS:
Mini Whisk (I like these for salad dressing too!)
Small Microplane
Veggie Peeler
Coconut Oil

    I just made this tonight and it is so good! I was a bit skeptical as I’ve never used turmeric before, but I was pleasantly surprised! All of the flavors boast really well together. This will be my new nightly routine in place of tea. Thank you!

    I have some Golden Paste (turmeric, black pepper, coconut oil) already prepared.  Could I use some of that along with the other ingredients listed?  If so, how much would you recommend?

      Yes, but I would start with a teaspoon per serving, then go up if you think it needs more.

    Hi Dani!
    I live in the Netherlands and we don’t have fresh tumeric around here. It is very difficult to buy.
    Can I use grounded tumeric instead? Or are all the health benefits gone?
    Also, I have a 2 year old daughter. Would you recommend for her to drink it? She loves tea!

      Hi Elsa, sure you can use ground turmeric, but the measurements are different. Use 1/2 tsp of dried vs 1 tsp of fresh. And if your daughter likes the tea, then she can drink it 🙂

    Dani, I make it with fresh turmeric and ginger most of the time, but when I’m stressed or tired I just go ahead and use powdered. Sometimes I add black tea, cardamom, and star anise too. Like a chai tea. Daniel

    I read up on turmeric, as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and it states that if you have gallstones it is not recommended to use black pepper. It makes the gallbladder contract to strongly and may cause pain. If you don’t have gallstones it may prevent you from getting them, as it will contract the gallbladder and help to clean it out. I did not find any other contraindications with any other ingredients or medications to do with the yellow-milk. I myself have gallstones but still love to have the yellow-milk and especially the anti-inflammatory benefits, just without the black pepper. Turmeric is also great for IBS among numerous things.

      Yes, turmeric has many benefits! I’m glad you enjoyed the milk without the pepper 🙂

    In your snap story you show the similar recipe with chai tea bags. Do I just add those to this recipe?
