Golden Milk

The Healing Tonic for Vitality and Flexibility

Golden Milk is a fan favourite for Kundalini yogis.
Known to relieve the joints after long times spent in meditation, the healing tonic is as delicious as it is beneficial. 

Golden Milk is easy to prepare, which makes it well fit for an at-home self-care staple. 
It’s a warm drink made of milk, turmeric, and often black pepper or honey. 

Ingredients

• ¼ – 1 teaspoon turmeric 
• 1/2 cup water 
• 8 ounces whole milk or milk alternative
• 2 tablespoons raw almond oil or other healthy oil
• Honey to taste
• Optional: 1 cardamom pod
  
  

Instructions

1. Simmer turmeric in water until it forms a nice paste, stirring regularly and adding water as needed. Suggested cooking time is 8 minutes. The cardamom may be cooked with the turmeric for added flavour.
2. While waiting on the paste, bring the milk and almond oil to a light boil. As soon as it boils, remove from heat.
3. Combine the two mixtures using a blender or whisk.
4. Add honey to taste. 

Notes

Notes: Golden Milk keeps in the refrigerator for up to 40 days. You can also prepare a larger quantity of turmeric paste and keep it in the fridge so you’re ready to make Golden Milk at any time. The general ratio of turmeric to water is 1:4.
