In Chinese, turmeric translates to yellow ginger. In my mind, turmeric translates to liquid gold because of its health benefits. Also, because everything turmeric touches literally turns into the color of gold.
The first time I made golden milk, I didn't care for the taste at all. But, I forced it down because I knew I needed the nutrients. After a couple of tries, I think I got the ingredients down for the way I like to drink it:
- 1 cup of almond milk
- 1 tablespoon of freshly grated turmeric root
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of ghee
- Sprinkle of cardamom
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Drop of honey
