Golden milk is easy to make at home. For a single serving of golden milk or about one cup, simply follow this recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (120ml) of an unsweetened milk of your choice
• 1 tsp of turmeric
• 1 small piece of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp of ginger powder
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
• 1 pinch of ground black pepper
• 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup (optional)

Directions:

To make the golden milk, simply mix all ingredients in a small saucepan or pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until fragrant and flavorful. Strain the drink through a fine strainer into mugs and top with a pinch of cinnamon.

Golden milk can also be made in advance and stored in your refrigerator for up to five days. Simply reheat it before drinking.
