Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   Measure out all the dry ingredients (turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, cardamom, and nutmeg) and set them aside.

   If using fresh ginger, grate it finely.

2. Heat the Milk:

   • In a small saucepan, pour the almond milk and heat it over medium heat.

   • Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

3. Add the Spices:

   • Once the milk is warm, add the turmeric powder, cinnamon powder, ginger powder (or grated ginger), black pepper, cardamom powder, and nutmeg powder to the saucepan.

   • Stir well to combine all the spices with the milk.

4. Incorporate the Coconut Oil:

   • Add the coconut oil to the saucepan and continue to stir until it melts and blends with the milk and spices.

5. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together. Be sure not to let it boil.

6. Sweeten:

   • If you prefer your golden milk sweetened, add raw honey or maple syrup to taste. Stir well to ensure it dissolves completely.

7. Strain and Serve:

   • If you used fresh ginger, you might want to strain the golden milk to remove the ginger pieces.

   • Pour the golden milk into a cup or mug.

8. Enjoy:

   • Your homemade organic golden milk is ready to be enjoyed. Drink it warm and savor the soothing and healthful properties.

Tips:

• You can store any leftover golden milk in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently on the stove before consuming.

• Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste preferences.

• For an extra creamy texture, you can blend the golden milk in a blender before serving.

Enjoy your homemade organic golden milk as a comforting and healthful drink!

Mindfully,

Sam.
