Golden Milk Base

Optional Garnish / Extras

Method

Prepare and Warm

  1. 1

    Combine ingredients

    In a small saucepan add 2 cups of milk, 1 tsp ground turmeric, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger), 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of ground black pepper. If using coconut oil or ghee, add 1 tsp now. Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract if using.

  2. 2

    Whisk and heat

    Place saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk continuously to fully incorporate the turmeric and spices into the milk so there are no clumps. Heat until the mixture is hot and steaming but not boiling (about 5–7 minutes). Reduce heat if it starts to simmer vigorously.

Blend and Finish

  1. 3

    Emulsify

    Once hot, remove from heat. To achieve a frothy, well-emulsified latte, either use an immersion blender in the saucepan for 15–30 seconds or transfer carefully to a countertop blender and pulse for 20–30 seconds. This makes the milk frothy and helps disperse the turmeric evenly.

  2. 4

    Taste and adjust

    Taste the latte and adjust sweetness or spice: add more maple syrup/honey for sweetness, more cinnamon for warmth, or a touch more black pepper for enhanced turmeric absorption.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Pour the golden milk into two mugs. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of extra ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top or garnish with a cinnamon stick. Serve immediately while hot.
