• Ground Ginger: works best for this recipe. You can also use fresh ginger if you prefer. Just be sure to peel and grate it first.
• Black Pepper: The black pepper activates the curcumin and medicinal properties in turmeric. Just a pinch is needed and the flavor is not prominent at all.

How to Make Golden-Turmeric Milk?

1. Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan and whisk over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. You want to warm the ingredients, but do not bring it to a boil.
2. Remove the golden milk from the heat and adjust the taste as needed: adding more sweetener to taste and more turmeric for a more intense flavor.
3. Serve immediately and drink warm. If you want an iced latte, allow the golden milk to come to room temperature first before adding ice.

Tips To Making This Drink:

• You can serve the drink immediately and drink it warm. Or you can store it in a mason jar or carafe for later.
• To enjoy iced: Fill up your glass halfway with ice and non-dairy milk. Then, pour the Turmeric Milk into the drink. The drink has a beautiful ombre look. Enjoy!
• Store the turmeric milk in a mason jar in the fridge for up to five days. The ingredients may separate, so give it a shake before serving. If you want to enjoy it warm, heat it up on the stove.
