Golden milk is a mix of warm spices blended into your favorite milk or plant-based alternative. It can be served hot or cold, or even added to coffee or tea. The spices in this beverage are great sources of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory compounds.

Golden milk is inspired by a traditional Indian beverage, with roots in Ayurvedic practices. The rich golden color comes from turmeric, which when paired with black pepper and a healthy fat source, increases the bioavailability of the compound curcumin, which is effective at reducing inflammation, supporting immune health, and boosting mood and brain health.

I love enjoying a warm mug of this Golden Spiced Latte Mix in the evenings, especially during cold weather. I find it comforting and relaxing, and the perfect wind-down activity after a busy day. I like to heat the mix with my favorite milk of the moment in a small pot on the stove. I recommend any rich, creamy milk option you enjoy - I’ve made this with regular dairy, soy milk, oat milk, and coconut milk. 

This Golden Spiced Latte Mix also makes a lovely homemade gift! The recipe fills a 4-ounce jar perfectly. I recommend purchasing your spices in bulk, if possible, to save a little money. Pair the mix with a cute mug or a hand-held milk frother for a fun gift! Read the note included in the recipe below for additional information on sugars and sweeteners.
