Equipment

  • Small saucepan

Ingredients

Turmeric Paste

  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup organic turmeric powder
  • pinch of black pepper

Golden Milk

  • 2 teaspoons turmeric paste (from above)
  • 4 cups nondairy milk
  • 2 teaspoons liquid sweetener

Instructions

MAKE THE PASTE

  • Add the water and turmeric to a small pot over medium heat. Turmeric can easily stain your clothes, pots, and utensils, so be careful and wash any stains out right away.
  • Gently stir the water and turmeric into a paste of medium consistency. If the paste becomes too dry, add a little water.
  • Cook the paste for about 7–10 minutes. It should be a slightly darker brown color than when you started.
  • Store in a glass container in your refrigerator to avoid permanent staining.

MAKE THE MILK.

  • Add the paste and milk to a pot over medium heat.
  • Stir slowly until the milk is warm, not boiling. Serve with the sweetener of your choice.

Notes

We recommend combining the turmeric paste with coconut milk and drinking 1 cup at night before bed.
