Spiced Turmeric Milk.

Turmeric has been used traditionally not only as a flavorful spice/seasoning, but also for its health benefits. Turmeric contains curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The addition of ginger gives this drink a warm spicy flavor, and is good for digestion and also an anti-inflammatory.  I consciously add anti-inflammatory foods to my diet as much as I can to help support anti-inflammatory processes in my body, and having a drink with both ginger and turmeric is an added bonus. The taste is rich and creamy with a hint of a musky chai-like undertone. It is delicious.  This rich golden milk is great during seasonal transitions when it can go from warm to cold in one day or when you get inside after a cold day in the snow, and a steaming mug of spicy milk tastes and feels wonderful.

While using fresh turmeric is best, it can be hard to find at the market during certain times of year, so this recipe uses powdered. This is delicious on a cold winter day.

{ingredients}

  • 1 1/4 cup coconut milk

  • 1 tsp turmeric powder

  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder

  • 1/8 tsp ground spice blend *

  • honey, to taste

Warm the coconut milk in a saucepan on the stove.

Add the spices, and gently heat while whisking, until all of the powder is fully integrated. Do not boil.

When hot, pour into a mug, add honey to taste, and sprinkle a pinch of the spice blend over the top as well.

Drink!


*Spice Blend

This aromatic blend is delicious with this golden milk, as well as sprinkled over hot cocoa, coffee, or chai.

½ cinnamon stick, or 2 tsp
6 cloves
4 allspice
3 cardamom pods
4 white peppercorns

Whiz the spices together in an herbal grinder or with your mortar and pestle. Store in an airtight jar. Use as needed!

​I love using turmeric and ginger as much as I can, and this drink is so delicious and rich and spicy. I do like coffee (we roast our own beans) and I love herbal tea (I grow and dry my own herbs all summer long to make herbal tea blends), but I also like having a hot drink that has a different flavor in my winter mug rotation!


Curcumin!
