as I have recently discovered the world of rainbow lattes and making them at home, I came across the beautiful thing known as golden milk. golden milk is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: gold milk. it's made from any type of milk, turmeric, additional spices, and some type of sweetener. it is warmed up and served in latte-esque fashion.
fast forward a few weeks later and I'm a turmeric-latte-loving fool. I want to be complete honest about my initial thoughts on gold milk: I was highly skeptical. a spice that is traditionally used in curry dishes used in a latte? hard pass. turns out I was totally wrong. it's actually so delicious and has many health benefits!
to name a few: turmeric (or the active ingredient known as curcumin) has been proven to help with inflammation, digestion, neurological health, and even skin disorders.
in my journey to make my own rainbow lattes, I knew I needed a yellow recipe. I came across this recipe by Ambitious Kitchen and decided to give it a try.
ingredients:
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup vanilla almond milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond-cashew blend)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (I forgot to add this the first time, but it worked out since the milk was vanilla flavored)
1/2 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon + extra for sprinkling on top
instructions:
1. throw it all in a pot & bring to a boil
2. pour it in a cute mug & enjoy!
as a little bit of advice to increase the inflammatory properties, the articles I read said that adding black pepper increases the absorption of curcumin; I personally haven't tried it yet, but it might be something I add in future golden milk adventures!
hope you enjoy!
p.s. be extremely careful with getting this mixture on things - it stains!
