Steaming, spicy, golden milk sweetened with pure Maple Syrup, a sweet gift from my nephew in Minnesota, is pure indulgence to be enjoyed on this longest night of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. Creamy, delicious, comforting, and filled with health benefits.
What gives Golden Milk its bright yellow colour?
The answer is Turmeric, one of nature's best anti-inflammatories!
Fresh Turmeric root naturally is preferable, and that is what I used in my Golden Milk, but one can also use a good organic Turmeric Powder, which is easier to obtain, and less messy.
My fingers were a bright Yellow for quite a while the last time I used fresh Turmeric, so rather wear gloves when using fresh Turmeric.
I added fresh Ginger root to give it a delicious spicy taste. Again, you can use powdered Ginger, but it's just not the same!
I usually grate extra Turmeric and Ginger to store in a bottle in the refrigerator where it will last for at least 2 days.
The addition of Cinnamon bark, and Cardamon Pods adds subtle flavour; and with these, you can also use the powdered form, but only add a touch, otherwise it will overpower the delicate flavours of the fragrant Golden Milk.
I almost forgot to add Peppercorns which greatly enhances the curcumin absorption and adds an extra touch of spiciness.
Golden Milk is delicious, its anti-inflammatory properties are great for sore throats and respiratory infections, arthritis, it aids digestion, and has a host of other health benefits.
Recipe
I've given approximate quantities, it really is up to you how much to use, but go easy on the Cardamon pods or it could overpower the other flavours.
- 500ml Milk (coconut or Dairy)
- Approx 2 tablespoons grated Turmeric
- 2 tablespoons grated Ginger
- 5 Cardamon Pods
- 2 stick Cinnamon Bark
- Pure Maple Syrup or Honey to sweeten
Place all into a pot, let it soak a little, then bring to a slow boil while stirring, and remove from heat.
Give it a good stir, strain it into cups, and sweeten to taste. My hubby is a diabetic, so I add sweetener to his Golden Milk.
CHEERS FRIENDS & EARLY TO BED ON THIS COLD NIGHT OF WINTER'S SOLSTICE!
All of us here in the Southern Hemisphere of course;)
