Golden Milk
What is golden milk? Aka turmeric milk has been around for ages. I grew up drinking this and still make it to this day.
If you don't want to make your own golden milk, this is another great option!
The benefits are astounding:
Improves bone health
Helps with sleep and anxiety
Improves digestion
Improves mood
Lowers blood sugar levels
Reduces inflammation
Turmeric contains anti-inflammatory agents, fatty acids and antioxidants such as curcumin. When consumed along with warm milk, the heat released from this can help break down accumulated fats and fasten weight loss.
It only takes about 5 minutes to make.
Golden Milk
Ginger root
Turmeric powder
Cinnamon
Local honey
Cayenne pepper
Lactaid milk- you can use the milk you choose
32oz mason jar
Place the peeled ginger root in the blender with a little bit of water. Blend together and strain in. Put it aside in a small mason jar. You will use ¼ cup of that for the mixture.
Pour the milk in a pot on the stove and boil the milk. To measure the milk accurately, pour the milk in the mason jar first with a little bit of room at the top and then pour it in the pot.
Turn down the milk and while it simmers, add the ¼ cup of ginger. Add in the turmeric, honey, cinnamon, and a dash of cayenne pepper. I don’t measure the turmeric, honey, and cinnamon, I blend to taste.
You can drink it hot or cold. I prefer it cold. It can be stored in the fridge for up to one month.
I take a ½ cup each day
Enjoy!
