Golden milk
A delicious, caffeine-free alternative to coffee is golden milk. Invigorating spices including ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and black pepper are used in this hot beverage. Cardamom, vanilla, and honey are among more typical additives. Due to the strong chemical curcumin, turmeric may have substantial anti-inflammatory benefits in addition to giving your beverage a lovely golden hue. Additionally, both fat and black pepper help your body absorb curcumin more readily. As a result, you might want to think about using full milk instead of fat-free for this beverage.
You can prepare basic golden milk in about 5 minutes. Here’s how:
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup (237 ml) of milk or a non-dairy alternative with 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon of ground ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. Optionally, add honey to taste.
- Warm the mixture on low to medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Once heated, pour the drink into a mug and enjoy.
