The warming hug from a well-made Golden Milk is something to savour, best enjoyed before bed or whenever the mood arises.
The recipe can be prepared in larger batches and chilled in the fridge for a delicious iced golden milk too.
We have listed an instant recipe on the website too if you are looking for a quick recipe without cooking.
Serves 1
Ingredients
1/2 to 3/4 tsp Golden Spice blend
1 cup (250 ml) preferred milk brand (for dairy version, see notes below)
25 ml coconut milk (for plant-based preparations – optional)
1/8 tsp vanilla extract or essence (optional)
Pinch of salt
Method
Add all ingredients to a small pot or stove-top kettle.
Gently cook on medium-low for 5 -10 mins.
Balance with preferred sweetener to taste – we like a pinch of coconut sugar or a drop of date syrup.
Strain or pour into cups and enjoy (or cool and refrigerate, serve an iced version instead).
Garnish with a pinch of cayenne pepper, nutmeg or cinnamon.
Side Notes
Dairy users can also use a full cup of milk or thin the milk a bit with some water if they prefer a less creamy cup.
Tip
Freeze any leftover coconut milk in ice cube trays, then add a block or two to your plant milks for extra richness.
