Golden milk: how to make it yourself

If you’re even a little into healthy living, you’ve definitely seen it: golden milk. This vegan ‘milk’ is flavored with spices that are each said to have amazing effects on your body.

You can buy a ready-made spice blend, of course. Chikko, for example, has just launched a blend that we’re big fans of. Still feel like making it yourself? It only takes five minutes, and if you make it often, it’s also cheaper.

Turmeric

The turmeric gives golden milk its golden (okay, yellow) color and is also incredibly healthy. It has anti-inflammatory properties and is packed with antioxidants. Ginger and a little black pepper are added too, making this a spicy drink. In principle, that gives you the most basic version of the golden drink; we also add some cardamom and cinnamon for extra flavor.

Method

Mix all the ingredients and heat for approx. 3–5 minutes in a small saucepan. Remove the cardamom pods and serve immediately.
