Golden milk is a hug in a mug, ideal for the chilliest of days.
Just want the nitty gritty?
Jump to RecipeBy no means is Golden Milk something new; also known as a Turmeric Latte, you’ll find recipes all over the internet for variations of this golden elixir and people touting the health benefits therein. What I have here is my preferred version, perfected after several years of tweaking spices and mixing plant-milks. Deliciously spiced and perfectly creamy, this is the BEST golden milk recipe.
Golden milk can be enjoyed it as an alternative to hot chocolate or caffeinated tea in the winter months, especially closer to bed time. You’ll love it as a decadent wind-down treat, especially topped with some coco-whip.
Ready to try it? Whip up a batch, take a pic (because, let’s face it, Golden Milk is ridiculously photogenic), and tag me @veganinyyc I can’t wait to see your golden moments.
See you soon YYC!
