How to make it?

To make golden milk, a person will need:

  • ½ cup non dairy milk, such as coconut or almond milk
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Star anise
  • cinemon
  • 1 tsp moringa powder

I just add moringa and star anise because I have access to it and it’s healthy – you can add what you feel for. Combine all the ingredients in a pot. Next, bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes or until it is fragrant. To serve, strain the mixture through a fine strainer to remove the spices. Golden milk will keep in the refrigerator for around 5 days.
