Golden milk, or turmeric milk, is an excellent alternative to tea and coffee, especially in the colder months when you want something soothing, warming and comforting. It can be from non-dairy milk blended with spices like turmeric, ginger and black pepper. I also add star anise and maple syrup for a subtly sweet, spicy, healthy drink. I find all 4 spices are key for the best flavor and health benefits. I love the punch of turmeric, sweetness of the ginger and star anise and cardamom and spicy kick of black pepper. It’s a creamy, warm and healing drink with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits so it’s often used as a natural home remedy for joint pain and other inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
