Turmeric and ginger are super heros when it comes to fighting inflammation. They are also really good for warming up your insides on a cold night, which is when you’ll find me sipping on this drink. Enjoy this Golden Milk Latte in the morning or evening (it's actually caffeine-free!) for some wholesome nourishment.
In a small saucepan, combine the turmeric, cinnamon, pepper and ginger.
Whisk in the coconut milk, honey and oil.
Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, until very hot but not boiling.
Pour into a heat-safe blender container and carefully blend on low until frothy. Alternatively, remove saucepan from heat and use an immersion blender to carefully froth.
Enjoy!
Notes
For vegan version swap honey with maple syrup or natural sweetener of your choice.
I know the black pepper may seem strange, but it’s essential for the efficacy of the turmeric.
If the turmeric flavor is too strong for you, feel free to start with less and work up to as much as you can tolerate.
To use fresh turmeric: slice 2 inches of fresh turmeric root and steep in the saucepan with the other ingredients for 5 minutes. Remove from pan before blending.
The fresh ginger will make this a bit spicy (so will the black pepper) so you can also remove the ginger root before blending if you want the ginger flavor without the kick.
