Ingredients

Coconut Golden Milk

  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full fat coconut milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger, to taste (from a 2-inch knob)
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • Pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup

To Serve (Optional)

  • Cinnamon sticks and/or ground cinnamon or turmeric

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut milk: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut milk until you see a little bit of steam, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Add the spices: Add the ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper, and gently whisk to combine. Add the vanilla extract, and whisk again to incorporate all the flavors. Remove the saucepan from the heat, let it cool slightly, and stir in the maple syrup.
  3. Taste and adjust: Taste the golden milk and adjust the spices or sweetness as desired. If you want more spice, add extra grated ginger. For more sweetness, add a little more maple syrup. If the flavors seem muted, add another pinch of salt for balance.
  4. Simmer: Return the saucepan to the stove and bring the milk to a bare simmer. You may see bubbles around the edges and froth on the surface. Once simmering, turn off the heat. This step helps meld the flavors and ensures the drink is hot.
  5. Strain and serve: Strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits of ginger. Pour the golden milk into your favorite mug, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or turmeric if desired, and enjoy cozying up with this warming beverage.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness and spice levels according to your taste preferences.
  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor and maximum health benefits.
  • This drink can be enjoyed any time of day, especially as a calming evening beverage.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
  • For a creamier texture, shake the coconut milk can before opening.
