Instructions

Pour the plant milk into a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Warm gently — do not bring to a boil as this can destroy some beneficial compounds in the turmeric.

Add the ground turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper to the warm milk. The black pepper is essential — it contains piperine which increases turmeric absorption by up to 2000%.

Whisk continuously for 2–3 minutes until all spices are fully dissolved and the milk takes on a beautiful golden yellow colour with no lumps.

Remove from heat and stir in coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. The coconut oil adds creaminess and also helps your body absorb the fat-soluble curcumin in turmeric.

Pour into your favourite mug. For a frothy finish, blend for 20 seconds using a stick blender. Sip slowly and enjoy warm. Can also be served over ice as a cold drink.

💡 Pro Tip

Make a golden milk paste by mixing turmeric, ginger, pepper and coconut oil into a thick paste. Store it in the fridge and add one teaspoon to warm milk each morning for a quick daily dose.
