TURMERIC GOLDEN MILK. I originally posted this a few years ago, but recently saw a video on TikTok (that I can’t find now) and it totally got me craving Golden Milk again, so I wanted to update.
Have you heard of it?
It’s one of my favorites! A lot of you have asked about nighttime drinks & for me it’s either peppermint tea with real mint leaves, Pique Ginger tea or Golden Milk.
Like 8 years ago, this recipe was originally recommended by my friend, Marie. Marie is AMAZING. She’s from Sweden & has the most beautiful skin. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s constantly inspiring me to feed my body goodness.
So when she recommended golden turmeric milk, I was sold and IMMEDIATELY whipped the golden potion up.
Ok so what exactly is turmeric milk?
Basically it’s “a traditional Ayurvedic drink to boost your health and vitality. It is usually taken at night to promote sleep and heal an array of ailments including common colds, sore throat, indigestion, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, menstrual cramps, headaches and arthritis.
It also fights cancers like that of the breast, liver, colon and prostate, relieves depression, promotes digestive health, detoxifies the liver, purifies blood, boosts circulation, accelerates wound-healing, relieves pain, protects against cardiovascular disease and helps with neurological disorders.
Most benefits of turmeric come from its key compound, curcumin, which has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiseptic properties. Turmeric is also used as a carminative herb in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
The health benefits of turmeric are further enhanced by adding black pepper to it. Research shows that black pepper contains piperine, a compound that helps the body absorb curcumin better.” { via }

We all know that turmeric is fab for swelling and was a helpful healer throughout my entire recovery from jaw surgery. Not only did I drink this magical potion but I also took turmeric tablets & made TSC Pink Detox Drink at least five times a week.
Enough about that, let’s talk about the recipe shall we?
Turmeric Golden Milk Recipe:
1.5 cups of Malk
2-3 teaspoons of turmeric ( sometimes I add 10, LOL )
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
A few sprinkles of black pepper ( helps with absorption )
1/4 fresh ginger, peeled
Pinch of cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS:
+ put everything in a saucepan and heat for 5 minutes on low/medium.
+ I use a frother to combine, but the new Beast Blenders look so chic & you can totally blend everything before or after.
+ Heat it as much as you like, but don’t boil it.
+ Add some honey right before serving and enjoy in your favorite mug. Love these ones by Miranda Kerr, this or this tumbler for on the go.
Note: you can use regular milk or almond milk too!
You can use powdered organic turmeric or grab that crusty thing that looks like a gnarled old finger at the grocery store and use a fine grater for it.
This all may sound overwhelming but I’m here to tell you guys: IT’S NOT. In fact, it’s so easy.
