4-Ingredient Golden Milk Mix

I made this mix for the golden milk overnight oats, tried the mix with milk, and it was a little too much pepper for my liking, but I made it again and instead put about a 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper (as well as a teaspoon of two more of cinnamon) and it was perfect! I’m saving the other mix to season other things with though, because I believe it would be fantastic in a savory dish.

Absolutely delicious! I used all the spices, a little extra of each, and added 2 tsp of cocoa powder. This is just as good as an expensive mix made locally that I overpaid for and dearly loved. And a tip: I warm the milk first and then put in the spices and whisk them – no clumping at all. I like it with a little liquid stevia and any non-dairy milk. Thank you for the recipe!!

Oh my days…. I’ve just made your Golden Milk spice mix (because I want to make your golden overnight oats) It’s a freezing afternoon here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so I thought a Golden Milk was called for. Amazing, what a warming, wholesome mug of deliciousness this is. This bit of sunshine in a mug will see me sail through winter. Thank you for the recipe. I’m going to make a few batches in pretty jars to gift at Christmas.

Thank you for the delicious recipe. I’ve seen many recipes for golden milk paste and found them to be too laborious when you want something quick and easy. I used raw milk and honey. Just the right ingredients for a warming, soothing, spicy evening drink.

I LOVE this spice mix! It’s so versatil. We’ve enjoyed it with milk, both cold and hot. Then for breakfast, we made smoothies with bananas and almond milk – yum! We happen to have a ton of sweet potatoes from the garden, so I made golden milk sweet potato soup. Everyone loved it! Because the spice mix was already made & so flavorful on it’s own, the recipe came together quickly. Just veggie stock, coconut milk, sweet potatoes and a heaping tablespoon of your Golden Milk Spice. Perfect autumn dinner. Thanks for another awesome recipe MB!

I have made this recipe several times and 3 generations of my family love it! Tasted it first in our local cafe, and am so glad I can make it at home. Thank you

Doubled this and made it for a daily smoothie mix. I add a scoop of protein, almond milk, and half a banana. Love it!

It’s not my favorite drink but it’s still nice for a cold winter night. Don’t skip the paste stage, it’s really obligatory :⁠,⁠-⁠)

So yummy!

I use this mix to flavor my morning oatmeal. It is delicious! With a little honey and raisins, it’s my favorite breakfast.

Absolutely delicious and satisfying for my late night cravings!

Great mix. Great taste. Easy to make. I’m addicted. Have it every night. The only thing I do differently is that I use more water than it calls for in order to mix all the powders. I have also yet to make it with coconut milk. I highly recommend it!!!

Oh, wow! Mixed the spices together in a small jar yesterday, and tonight, after a long day trip that included a six-mile walk (after I’ve barely shifted from my home office chair for two weeks), I needed something warm and comforting.
Put a teaspoon of the mix in a half-oat-milk, half-hot-water drink, added in some maple syrup and it was delicious! Just the remedy I needed for my aching, weary limbs. Will definitely make this a regular thing in my kitchen! Thank you. :)

I received a small jar of this recipe as a holiday gift from our neighbor. I loved it so much that I asked her to share the recipe! I made it as written (and as gifted to me) with the addition of a T. of vanilla powder. I use organic unsweetened soymilk because it is so thick and creamy with a bit of fat. It’s the most amazing tonic for the cold dark days of winter. Thank you!

This has been a favorite and regular go-to recipe of mine since I first discovered it on your site. 😊

DELICIOUS

very good. thanks

I made this with full fat Thrive Market coconut milk and a little almond milk and it was delicious! I did a little more maple syrup than the recipe for my taste.

Tried golden milk once before and it was just okay. Yours is delicious! Also, your instructions to add a bit of hot water before the milk made it much easier to mix. I used unsweetened soy milk for the creaminess and left out sweetener entirely, as the cinnamon and ginger do it well enough on their own. We chose the warm version tonight but I took a sip before heating to test it; seems that is going to be a keeper too. Thank you for this!

This (for me) is an acquired taste.
We use all of the ingredients (except pepper) in our morning smoothie. I made the mix for days when time constraints forced us to miss it in favor of something faster. I made mine with 4 Oz of macadamia milk ( that’s what was on hand) a scant tsp of agave.
I have a little milk frothier and that incorporates the spices quickly and leaves a nice texture.
I appreciate the recipe and I will probably start taking this nightly ( regardless of the breakfast smoothie. Thank you!

Really tasty! Tried this hot, mixed with almond milk and it was really good. Made this originally for the golden milk granola recipe and that was really tasty as well! This recipe is a keeper!

The warm golden milk is so delicious. I made it as written in the recipe and used unsweetened soy milk.

So yummy in a hot drink! I make my golden milk with coconut milk and pop a button of raw cacao butter in each cup to make it nice and creamy. A perfect winter warmer for the cooler weather we are coming into here in Australia. I also love it in your golden milk snack bites! Thank you xxx

This mix is my new weakness! I substituted with homemade almond milk which is sweetened with a few figs. I also add maple syrup for those who like a little more sweetness. I’m going to make a HUGE batch for a road trip. It’s great in oatmeal, yogurt, granola, soup, samosas.

This is my new favorite thing! A total keeper.

LOVE this recipe – simple and delicious! I originally thought it’d be too heavy on the turmeric, but it’s a great balance of turmeric with all the other warm spices of a golden milk. I’ve been drinking it with maple syrup and coconut milk (carton version) and it’s perfect. Haven’t tried it yet with the optional ingredients, but will add them to my next batch. I’ll definitely be making this again and again!

I love this recipe, I didn’t use as much black pepper as recipe called for. Added extra cinnamon. I put this into 4oz mason jars with recipe on a tag- perfect gift.

Just made a batch of this and drank it with vanilla oat milk! Quite delicious and easy to make!

For those who don’t want to use a saucepan, I prepared this by heating up some water in my tea kettle and mixing that with a bit of the powder in my mug, then taking a separate mug with milk and warming it up in the microwave. Then I simply pour the heated milk over the dissolved powder mixture (this is how I make my matcha lattes too).

Made it today and it was pretty good! Used 1 tsp of coconut sugar as sweetener :)

This has become my before bedtime hot drink. so thank you for the mix recipe as I was getting tired of mixing it all every night. :-). Also added the suggested add-ins. Mmmmmm.

Tip: I strain it through a small mesh tea strainer to filter out the pepper flakes.

This is AWESOME!!! I want to make this a daily staple! Turmeric is usually a BIG no no for me because it gives me heartburn, but in this recipe, it made me actually LIKE turmeric… Delicious.

I did 2 tsp of maple syrup to offset the spiciness and I used Vietnamese cinnamon (I also included the listed optional ingredients).

Bookmarking this one!

I made it this morning and it’s so delicious and soothing. I made it with oat milk and will try coconut milk next time. Definitely a keeper!

It’s the PERFECT recipe for golden milk … I do it on a regular basis for myself and friends, with any clove or nutmeg, and it’s to die for.
Thank you!!!

This is so fabulous! I have tried a different recipe before, but it just didn’t taste right, and the instructions didn’t specify how to make it not clumpy. But this recipe was super easy to follow and had very tasty results!! Thank you! I made it with almond milk and maple syrup :)

Absolutely delicious! I have attempted to make this in the past but never turned out. Just made this and did the iced version, very refreshing and great taste. So excited to have this and make on the regular. Thanks again for another great recipe!

I discovered golden milk not long ago and I love it.
Thank you for sharing this great mix :-)
I use it with a mix of coconut and almond milk and it’s just delicious <3

This is pretty nice! Ive been so curious about this drink for a while now but never got around to make it.
It just came across my instagram feed and I happened to have all the ingredients. I made it cold and we really like it! Toddler included!
Thanks You!

Perfect golden milk mix! I’ve made hot and iced golden milk and with coconut milk or almond milk. All ways turned out delicious! I keep a big jar of the mix ready to go in my pantry when I need a pick-me-up. I added the nutmeg from the suggestions and it tastes like fall in a cup. Highly recommend!

Surprised I loved it so much and can make it at home. I enjoy it cold with ice cubes. Will try it hot when the weather is cooler. Hope to make this a regular habit. I would triple the recipe. Doesn’t last very long. Thank you for the recipe :-)

This was absolutely delicious! I had never had golden milk before and you made it simple and straightforward. I added the clove but not the nutmeg, and used So Delicious coconut milk

This is a fabulous break from coffee!

Thank you Dana! This mix makes such a yummy drink. I just mixed some up and added both the clove and nutmeg add-ins. I used cashew milk and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil along with the heaping teaspoon of golden milk mix. Delicious!!!!!!!

I adore this mix! I include more ginger and a tsp. of cardamom, because cardamom. So wonderful. Aside from almond milk and various dishes, I like to add it to my cinnamon tea, which runs a little weak for my taste in the big mug I use, so the Golden Mix really punches up the flavor and gives me that comforting warmth I need by mid-afternoon.

Thanks for this super easy and delicious go-to! (Doubling the recipe? I *tripled* it after trying it the first time. It will NOT linger on my shelf.)

I love this recipe- thank you! I was buying expensive mixes from Whole Foods now I don’t have to. I love that I can customize this to my own taste! Thank you!!

I have a terrible cold and wanted something warm and soothing, this is perfect.
The only thing I needed to buy was the milk, the other ingredients are staples in my house. It’s so creamy and yummy! I know it will become a commonly served drink. I plan to gift a batch to my DIL.
