5-Minute Vegan Golden Milk

I just made it for the very first time! It is delicious and nutritious! I love it! I will definitely make it again and will share it to my family and friends! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

This was a very easy milk to make! Did not need to add anything! I usually follow the recipe the first time I make something, then make my adjustments… won’t be making any with this, I loved it just as it was! I’m putting the extra in my refrig, and warming it up tomorrow. If it is still good, this will be my go-to-work-with-me drink a few times a week! Thanks for the inspiration!

This is delicious!! I wanted to use fresh ginger but last minute realized I was out — I have to say it is spectacular with ground! I did use full fat canned coconut milk because that was what I had in the pantry and it was great although probably more filling. I wasn’t sad about it at all :) Thank you for this recipe, great for a chilly afternoon.

sooooo good! I just made this for the first time and I am very happy with the outcome.. smooth and silky with the perfect balance of tumeric and ginger. I LOVE coconut milk, oil, anything coconut so if you do as well then this recipe is for you. Although the coconut flavor is not too strong, you can taste it under the layers of flavors (which I love). I am sure it would taste amazing with any kind of milk. I added a tablespoon of maple syrup as the writer suggested a subtle sweetness is desired and it is exactly that, subtle, which allows the other flavors to come to the foreground as well. I will definitely be making this again– thank you!

Delicious and so easy!

This was my first time making golden milk. I followed the recipe even though coconut it my least favorite thing to consume. It was pretty horrible. I went back and added a ton of cinnamon and more honey. It help slightly, but I did like honey almost as much as I dislike coconut. The taste was slightly worse with the extra honey. Then I did the unthinkable added plane old granulated sugar. I was able to get it drinkable. I’m going to try to make it again with different milk, sweetener, and exstra cinnamon and ginger. I may add a pumpkin pie spice.

I made this WITH THE COCONUT OIL and it was incredible. Thank you for such a simple healthy recipe

Coconut oil is not a “healthy fat”. It is extremely high in saturated fat, moreso than butter. Coconuts can be a great part of a balanced diet, but separating the healthy stuff from the coconut and using only the fat is just as unhealthy as separating the fat from milk or from an animal and only using that. Try to opt for healthier oils in cooking such as olive and canola. Thank you for the recipe, I’ll certainly try it without the coconut oil!

(I am a medical doctor and master of public health and a particular interest in nutrition.)

I make this recipe almost once a week. I usually only have one kind of non-dairy milk open at a time (I find it hard to use a lot of milk since I only have myself to cook for) and always use whatevers on hand. I’ve used oat, almond, hemp, and coconut milk, and I double it and leave the canned coconut milk out. Delicious every time!

For the sweetener I used organic raw honey to further this incredible recipes already nicely rounded health benefits.

Just made it as a monday midday lift me up. Ok just had a sip so farbut never thought i’d like it. It tastes sooo nice :D Thank you for the recipe. I’ll come back after a few of those drinks to tell how I feel (I got Hashimoto, it might help a lot with regulating my energy)

I used one can of evaporated coconut milk and equal amount of water. Used whatever turmeric I had already ground, much larger amounts of ginger, cinnamon and maple syrup. Subbed pepper with a few swipes of fresh nutmeg. Added a bit of vanilla.
I like it. My husband says it tastes like warm curry. It is a nice change from evening hot cocoa or tea during cold winters and my body needs all the anti-inflammatory help it can get.

Just made this & followed all ingredients except for the unsweetened non dairy milk since I just ran out of almond milk yesterday! Subbed it with chocolate soya milk though & it is very delicious!!!! Thank you for this recipe ❤️❤️❤️

Will try the it with almond milk after a trip to the grocery & also with cocoa powder

I make this every time I start to feel under the weather. And its a great sleep-aid. I was surprised at how tasty it is with stevia.

Made this last night before bed and it was delicious! I used oat milk because that’s what I had. i only had full fat coconut milk (canned) so used 1 cup of that mixed with 1/2 cup of water. Also used fresh ginger, and maple syrup.

So smooth and creamy and a very pleasant blend of spices. Thanks for the recipe!

Made this just now after looking for a solid turmeric latte recipe – it’s so yummy! To make the light coconut milk, I added 1/2 cup full fat canned coconut milk to one cup of water. I also used cashew milk instead of almond (because that’s what we usually have on hand). This provided the perfect creamy base without being too heavy. I added one tablespoon of fresh grated ginger and omitted the coconut oil . The latte has a solid mouth-tingle, bordering on spicy, from the ginger and pepper, but still very comforting! I feel like it could cure a cold!

Thanks for your awesome recipes, as always!

WOW! This is my first time drinking and making golden milk. I had a low expectation for the taste but this blown my mind!! It’s warm and comforting. The taste is waaayyy better than my expectation.
I didn’t have almond milk so I substituted with home made oat milk. The rest I followed the recipe exactly.
I’d definitely be making more of this in the future. Thanks for posting this recipe.

I have been all about turmeric in the last two years. I love adding it to fresh juices. This recipe for Golden Milk is so easy. It’ll be great for the long New England winter. The combination of turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and pepper…perfection.
I’ve become somewhat obsessed with this website. I want to make everything!

OMGOSH! What a wonderfully delightful relaxing warm cup of yummy goodness😋 Everyone should make a cup! This is my new normal🤗

Made this and loved it! Topped it off with a little oat milk whipped cream. Thank you for the layered and flavorful recipe that didn’t require much prep time or a million different appliances.

Nice recipe! I love the little suggestions/additions of black pepper, coconut oil and maple syrup.I never thought about adding a little black pepper- you can’t really taste it but it makes it taste better. The coconut oil adds a smoothness. Maple syrup gives it a little bit of sweetness but not too much. This website is my go-to for recipes- keep up the great work.

I made it with fresh turmeric, ginger, a tin of coconut milk and used vanilla almond milk. I made enough for a few days. Great recipe!

Loved this recipe :) been wanting to make this for ages and finally made the time this afternoon 💕 I like my drinks less sweet, so I only added a tiny bit of maple syrup… it was perfect! I could really appreciate the turmeric, ginger and cinnamon flavors :) the only thing I might do differently next time is use less coconut oil. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!

It’s delicious. Will definitely do it again.

Absolutely delicious! Will use this recipe again and again in the future.

Just made this using 10 oz. almond milk, 2 oz. half and half, dried spices, and agave as my sweetener. Delicious and soothing! I think I will try adding cardamom next time, for a little extra kick.

This is very yummy and comforting but a little tip: if you’re the type that enjoys spices, do yourself a favor and use fresh ginger from the start, strain it out at the end. We found that powdered ginger, even though we doubled the amount, was barely noticeable (to be fair, my ginger is a few months old) and didn’t create that spicy note we were looking forward to. Other than that, its a great recipe.

Delicious. I added clove (about 1 tsp), more ginger to taste and cinnamon sticks and ground cinnamon. Will be adding cardamom next time.
The taste was similar to a chai.

The first time I had golden milk, it tasted awful but this recipe is way better! I used a cup of Califia Oat Milk and a 1/2 cup of Trader Joe’s almond and coconut creamer just to experiment and it was amazing! Used maple syrup as my sweetener! Definitely would recommend this recipe :)

I find it best to not boil the turmeric and instead pour it in a cup with turmeric in it for better flavour (raw and uncooked)

Delicious! I made this recipe with a few modifications. I had full fat coconut milk and cows milk ,so I used those (I have never had a problem with cows milk). I did a combination of powdered turmerick and also had just blended up some fresh with water, so I added both to my liking. I used freshly grated ginger, a pinch of pepper and cinnamon stick, but left out the coconut oil. I sweetened with some honey and it came out amazing. I will definately make this regularly!

Did this today, what a great recipe. I loved the taste. I used Califia toasted coconut almond milk which has a very creamy texture to it along with the other ingredients and added a dash of nutmeg and some vanilla extract. I did not use the sweeteners, didn’t feel it needed anything to change the already great taste. As a sidenote, I have severe hip pain and it diminishEd the pain considerably throughout the day. This drink is a keeper.

Delicious! I added full fat coconut milk made from a powder + fresh ginger for an extra rich and comforting drink. Love this – it’s the perfect balance!

I love the addition of coconut milk and cinnamon. Thanks for acknowledging the Indian roots of this recipe. I grew up drinking it every night. Still love it.

I’m a big fan of this stuff. Never made it vegan before, though since I had some full-fat coconut milk and coconut oil on hand, I made an extremely creamy version of this. (I avoided the oil, as the coconut milk had enough coconut oil by itself.) I also added a bit of maccha powder (not the sweetened stuff, the explicitly pure stuff) because I wanted a bit of a caffeine kick, and tea has good stuff in it too. The point being, this recipe is incredibly adaptable and as long as you include the spices and some kind of fat for them to be bioavailable, pretty much anything goes. The flexibility of this, due to its simplicity, is what makes it so great.

Delicious. Did not have coconut milk (used my last can yesterday!) so made with all almond milk this time…added 1 tsp honey as sweetener. Best recipe I have found so far!

This is delicious! I’ve made this both to recipe, and modified based on what I had. This morning I made it with honey (since I’m not vegan), no canned coconut milk or coconut oil, silk unsweetened coconut milk in place of the almond, and doubled the spices. I’ll pour it into two pint jars as a concentrate, and then when we drink it we can top the jars up with whatever milk we want. This works better without coconut oil because of the lack of solids.

I loved this recipe! I used grated fresh ginger instead of ground, and cocoa butter instead of coconut oil. The grated ginger gave it an extra kick! 😋

I uses siy milk instead of almond, brown sugar as my sweetner snd left out the black pepper and coconut oil as they were not available. Still delicious. Great recipe

I love your recipes! This one was so easy AND delicious! I used ground turmeric, ginger and cinnamon with Ripple and coconut milk. Everything came together within just a few minutes.

I think the coconut oil makes it very greasy

Heat recipe. I loved it because it’s truly delicious, healthy and it was like a whole meal

The tablespoon of maple syrup was the perfect amount of sweetness! This recipe had a very subtle taste, it was not too overwhelming at all.

The recipe is appreciated BUT? Extreme overuse of popup ads and click bait floating banner ads that block your screen to the point that your article is unreadable is NOT!

Been making this for the past week and love it. I’m on an elimination diet and wanted something hot and comforting to replace my coffee craving. This is amazing! I’m using rice milk and coconut as I can have nut based milk at the moment. It tastes amazing. I’ve tried with ground cinnamon and stick..and I agree stick is tastier! Not by much, it’s still great, but I do notice the difference.

Delicious! I used a combo of oat/almond milk, honey, anise, clove and fresh ginger. Almost a chai/golden milk I would say and I loved every sip. And I didn’t strain a thing. Eating fresh ginger by the spoonful is it uncommon for me :) Thank you for sharing! Hoping this helps give me a boost 💪

It’s a keeper! I used regular coconut milk and used 1 Tablespoon of honey and stevia instead of syrup although if I had the lite coconut milk and syrup I would have used those. The combo of almond milk n coconut milk were excellent milk. I still added 1/2 Tablespoon of coconut oil as we had a heavy brunch, didn’t want dinner, but still needed something.

Love this recipe! When I make it, I drink half of it right away – hot and comforting. The other half i put in the fridge and added to my milk kefir, a little mango and ice for a delicious smoothie the next day!

First time trying out a turmeric latte. This is wonderful! Made it for DH who is a little under the weather. Thanks!

Delicious! This was such a unique and tasty drink. Thank you for the creative recipe, this isn’t something I would think to make if it wasn’t featured on your website. I also appreciate you sharing your cooking secrets and preferences (e.g. maple syrup to sweeten this recipe).

Please keep delivering amazing, easy to prepare, healthy recipes for us!

Have this any night I have a hard time falling asleep and it does just the trick! I prefer it with oat milk for that creamy base.

We loved this! We were out of ginger so we replaced it with ground cardamom and we only had blueberry maple syrup so we used another sweetener.

I don’t ever carry light Coco milk so we did oatly barista edition oat milk and hemp milk in equal parts. I would probably add less oil next time, as I think the added oil in the barista oat milk and our small cups probably just amounted to needing less! Highly recommend the barista oat milk/hemp milk combo. I haven’t tried the recipe with the milks she listed, but the oat/hemp made an amazingly creamy mix that reminds me of how she described it in her blog portion. ?? Hope y’all are surviving quarantine all right! Sending love from Puerto Rico.

I love this recipe, since I have a sensitivity to cows milk this combo tastes amazing. Instead of coconut oil, I added ghee which cranks it up a notch for me , satiating, drifting off to slumber-land in total bliss. Ahhh

Hi,

Normally Ayurveda does not advocate the drinking of Cow’s Milk as it dulls your thinking process and brings down the alertness. It is often used as medicine. The reason that Cows milk is used in Ayurveda in this recipe is that it creates Phlegm . This helps in flushing down the virus or bacteria either out or into the stomach from the lungs. Just FYI :)

Thx,

Jay

This is the best drink/treat I’ve ever made! What a treat. I was hesitant to use the turmeric because I don’t really like it, so I cut it to 1/4 a tsp (1serving) and I plan to work my way up to the full amount (for health benefits). It’s delicious, so creamy, and lightly sweet. I will be making this over and over again!

First off I don’t even like turmeric. I sneak it into recipes because of the health benefits and yet I LOVED this! So creamy and delicious. Thank you!!

I used your Ingredients list, though I admit I was not very precise with the measurements. I also opted for the ground fresh ginger, and whole cinnamon stick… OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS. So glad my best friend recommended that I try making this. Adding this to my regular “must do” recipes.

Dinner is over and your healthy little self wants something comforting to finish off the evening. Ah, yes.

If you often find yourself in this boat, craving something more along the lines of chocolate and lattes and all the other delectable warm goodies ( that you really don’t *need* but gosh if you wouldn’t give a left leg for a little * something* )…this is a nice fix. It’s creamy, soothing, and warm.
Honestly, you have to try it to understand. I’d seen golden milk elsewhere, but based on the description, still wondered how all those ingredients would actually add up to “comforting”. Black pepper? Turmeric?

Just give it a go. There’s a reason it’s become “ a thing”.

Now, you can strain it if you like, or just dump the contents of your saucepan into high power blender and it will blitz any pieces into a finer particle and create a velvety froth while you’re at it.

And before you ruin all the things, realize that turmeric is what hipster flower child mamas use to dye things. Dye. As in, this is middle school lab day in science, and we wear aprons ( not the adorable ones from Anthropologie) and treat it like it’s acid. It will stain your shirt, possibly your counters, and your life will be yellow. Which sounds poetic, now that I think of it.

….and it was alll yelllowww…

This is delicious and easy! When I don’t have much time I use the seasonings, but when I have more time, I grate turmeric and ginger root I bought at a local Asian market. Very inexpensive there. I use canned coconut milk from Trader Joe’s. Best tasting and no added gums. Thanks so much for your wonderful recipes!

I completely subbed both milks for oat milk based on preference and added some fresh vanilla bean. *chefs kiss* it’s sooo yummy, I’ve made it three nights in a row lol

I had full fat coconut milk so used about 3/4 cup of that, 2 1/4 cup almond milk and omitted the coconut oil. So creamy and dreamy!!

It’s so tasty and so healthy. I plan to drink it every night before I go to bed!

This is a really yummy recipe, i substituted almond milk and it still tastes wonderfully creamy and delicious.

Best golden milk ever! I only used soy milk because I did not have coconut milk or oil. However, it was delicious! My roommate tasted it and even wanted some! This is definitely one of the best recipes I’ve ever tasted before!

FINALLY have (almost) all the ingredients in the house to try. Chose a day when i am aching all over. Now that i am drinking it, and seeing how wonderful it tastes, i know it won’t be difficult to have some every day and really give it a chance to work. I used only almond milk, added a tablespoon of butter. Will have to get fresh cinnamon sticks – mine are too old to add much flavor. Looking forward to trying with coconut milk. One question: does anybody ever add cacao? I never heard of CHOCOLATE golden milk, but, mmmmmmm

my apologies for the typos I’m using a phone and it’s lagging. technically the only active ingredient is tumeric and black pepper you don’t need anything else the other ingredence are to male drinkable . You could just use water tumeric black pepper . lab tests showing that traditional black pepper allow 95% more tumeric into the body. 1/4 tsp to 2 tbp tumeric .

I made this with oatmilk and it was delicious!

I have been drinking this golden milk preparation for about 2 months now, and it has improved my digestion/gut dramatically. I did make a few slight changes: I use 1/2 recipe of whole fat coconut milk and other 1/2 unsweetened, original flavored almond milk, 2 tsps of turmeric powder ( increasing the measurement just feels more beneficial for health purposes) and the same for ginger powder, I used 1 tsp of that spice. The rest of the recipe/ingredients I used according to your measurements. The slow heating of the coconut milk mixture removes the bitter taste of the turmeric so increasing that amount did deter from the great taste. I can keep golden milk for 4 – 5 days in the fridge with no problem. Oh so nourishing and tasty. I do plan to experiment with using whole spices and fresh turmeric and ginger instead at some point. THANK YOU!

Yummy and easy to make. Thanks for sharing!

I tried cold Golden Milk at a farmers market for the first time ($8 for a small cup of it). Looked for a recipe, and had of the ingredients for this recipe on hand. I used a can of non-light coconut milk that turned out to be 1 3/4 cups, and added all other ingredients exactly. Used honey to sweeten and drank it warm. It came out perfect! I have found my new favorite guilty, but not guilty pleasure. With all of the health benefits, I’m so happy and will make this regularly.

I have searched several recipes for Golden Milk and I prefer this one over all others due to ease and taste. I can make it in my sleep now! And, that, for me is the best benefit of all…..it eases my digestion and helps me fall asleep. Bravo!!!

Loved this recipe! I was filled with anticipation just making it and it did not disappoint! I replaced pepper with cayenne. This will be my new go to dessert! I’ve also share it with everyone I think will enjoy it! Thanks!

Excellent recipe! Im sure all of u vegans won’t like this but i didnt have any coconut milk left in my pantry so i used raw milk instead. I make my own powdered organic ginger and turmeric so i cut back a little bc the homemade spices are stronger. I also added 1 tbsp. of real maple syrup, a teaspoon of my homemade vanilla and oh my!! Delish! Thanks for posting this recipe!!

So happy my health coach reccomend this recipe to me and I found it really good. I will definitely make more.

This is so delicious and soothing.

Came to learn about golden milk through a menopause forum. It was suggested as a symptom reliever. So glad I found this easy recipe. I did use soy milk instead of almond for the estrogen.

Super fast, very easy and DELICIOUS! Five Stars for sure.
My yoga instructor was talking about golden milk and all the health benefits it has. We’ve used turmeric in the past for inflammation and since I was looking for a yummy, vegan, hot drink I decided to try making some today. Quick and easy is what I prefer so the 5 min text grabbed me. The photos too! So glad I came across the Minimalist Baker.
I do want to share some modifications – I used 1 can of organic coconut milk – there was just a tiny bit left after the 1-1/2 C so I threw it in. I will likely use “light” in the future because 14g of fat per serving with 5 servings in the can is a little much for me. I used turmeric from gel caps and ginger from the grocery bulk spice isle. No cinnamon sticks in the spice rack so I used ground. I did put in a pinch of pepper even thought there was some in the gel caps. The milk didn’t need extra sweetener for my taste but since it was the first batch I did add 1-1/2 Tbsp of pure maple syrup.
As I write this review and drink my golden milk my temperature begins to rise. I would probably sleep like a baby or at least have a great cat nap but I have work to do. So it’s off to the studio for me with my amazing and decadent afternoon treat in hand. Thanks Minimalist Baker! I’ll be back for more!

Love it!

This was my first go at golden milk, and i’m So glad I chose your recipe as my first. Delicious! I used full fat coconut milk as I had an opened can in the fridge…

Very nice, comforting and tasty drink. Even my 14 year old is enjoying a cup. We both have RA and are needing a boost of relief this evening. I sweetened it with monkfruit and we added a bit more cinnamon at the end. Thanks for the recipe!

Exactly what I needed on this cold, dark, depressing winter night.

Really tasty and very warm and cozy! I’m not used to a big turmeric taste so this is a little too strong for me, but I will definitely make this again and use less turmeric and gradually increase the amount as I become more used to the flavor. I added just under a tablespoon of maple syrup as a sweetener. Delicious!

Really good and warming

It’s a cold, wet winter day in Chicago so I decided to make this recipe while I stay in and get some work done. It was exactly what I needed and absolutely delicious! I already had all of the ingredients except almond milk (and not interested in venturing out if I don’t have to). Also substituted a pinch of cayenne pepper for the black pepper. Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe for the cold weather! I felt immediately warmed up after having my first sip. I used full fat coconut milk since I can’t find any low fat version in my country, and full fat milk + coconut oil does seem a little too heavy. I’ll try using less oil next time!

Mhmmm the best pick me up drink ever! :)

This was quite good – like some others said, I used canned full-fat coconut milk (about 1/2 cup) and then upped the almond milk to make 3 cups of liquid. I then omitted the coconut oil. Turmeric needs fat to be more bio-available so I wouldn’t recommend omitting all of the fat from either coconut milk/cream, or the coconut oil! Next time I will add more ginger (or fresh ginger) as I love the spiciness alongside the creamy milk!

This is my first time having golden milk and I loved it. Thanks so much for the recipe.

This is so good! I also added 2 squares of dark chocolate :) :) :)

Just made this milk and it came out great. Used non-light coconut milk plus unsweetened almond milk and I love the spiciness and creamy frothiness :) didn’t need a cookie to complete this “snack”. Thanks for this recipe and a bunch of your other (vegan) ones as well! They’re so tasteful and perfect for my diet. Even my hubby enjoys them :)

I upped the turmic to 1 Tablespoon and added more black pepper (for inflammation) the rest of the ingredients I kept the same 1 tablespoon maple syrup
It was very good

This was tasty and I’ll def make often! I used double the almond milk and left out the coconut milk and also the coconut oil (high sat fat). Added a little maple syrup at the end and will strain next time. Cozy, healthy and yum! Thank you!

I made this (with a few adjustments and a strainer) and it was absolutely delicious!

I ended up doing:
1 cup macadamia nut milk
1/4 cup canned coconut milk
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tbsp maple syrup

Hi Dana,
I tried Golden Mylk for the 1st time yesterday at Dr Smoods. I’m hooked!! I use a lot of your recipes so thank you. This recipe I adapted based on what I had at the time in my pantry, as I usually do. I watered down the coconut cream and I mixed it with some left over homemade cashew nut mylk that I had. It was delicious. I really want to make it with fresh turmeric and fresh ginger that I have, maybe I’ll do that tomorrow….? Thx again! xx

Spot on again! Easy and comfy.
Could you perhaps put the quantity of the spices in grams in the metric recipes? Still can’t get my head around tsp and tbsp!

Yes very good relieves swelling

I’ve seen you post stories where you make or drink golden milk, and have always been intrigued. I tried your recipe for the first time, and I’m sold. Love the flavor, the texture and the awesome color. I’m just not sure about the need for coconut oil, though. It only added fatty eyes on an otherwise amazing looking drink. Thanks again!

I made this using a 10oz can oF whole fat coconut milk and about 1tbsp fresh ginger peeled and cut into chunks. I also used 1 tbsp garam masala Indian spice blend (contains turmeric as well as other wonderful fragrant spices) plus contents of 1capsule of turmeric from my supplements. It was so good I drank all of it in one sitting! (Forgot to give a 5-star rating first time around!)

Excellent recipe! I was looking for a hot drink to quell the menstrual cramps I was experiencing. I used all that I had on hand, oat milk creamer, turmeric, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. I no longer use sweetener, as it’s all sugar regardless of what name it’s called. Still delicious because the oat milk has a natural sweetness, enough to be enjoyable!

I made this except using a can of full fat coconut milk and the rest from a carton. Then I omitted the coconut oil. Delicious!

I made this and I really love it. I did minus the oil, but next time I will add it.

I found your recipe this morning before having my coffee so I decided to try a makeshift version. First I heated my cup with hot water. After the cup was hot I poured out the water, added about 2 Tbl coconut cream and 1 Tbl coconut oil and mashed it in the hot cup to melt. Then I added the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, pepper and raw honey and stirred well. Added my hot coffee, stirred and enjoyed a delicious drink, much healthier than a plain black cup of coffee. Perhaps I will eventually eliminate the coffee but this was a quick, easy alternative for now. Thank you!

Just delicious! The perfect drink for relaxing before bedtime. My oldest daughter had introduced me to golden milk tea a while back, but had I misplaced the recipe, so used yours. It was perfect!

Surprisingly Delicious! I doubled the tumeric in my second batch and it wasnt a problem. I added liquid stevia to finish it. Wish I had started the milk weeks ago. After making and drinking last night, I woke up without stomach issues and the pain in my hands was not really noticeable. Made more this morning and feeling great today. I have heard that if you do this you can drop it back to a ‘swig’ every evening for mainentence. Enjoy! It really is fabulous!

This recipe tastes amazing! I didn’t have any ground turmeric or ginger so I used fresh roots and grated the appropriate amount. I used raw blue agave since I ran out of maple syrup. It was so creamy, comforting, and delicious! Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I’m sure I’ll be making more in the future!

Love this recipe! I add 1/4 tsp of cardamom and substitute white pepper for black due to an allergy. I add a 1 1/2 tsp of maple syrup and 1 1/2 tsp agave syrup as sweeteners. I believe this is helping me tolerate radiation therapy for breast cancer better, with less skin redness and discomfort due to the curcumin in the turmeric. Don is right, including pepper for piperine is important to get the most benefit from the curcumin. Thanks so much!

Cooking turmeric is said to make it most bioavailable. A slow simmer for a while is supposed to unlock the curcumin. Don’t skip the fat or the piperine(pepper) If not Vegan I think honey is the best sweetener(after it cools a little) you add even more health benefits. Thanks for the recipe. Golden milk is awesome.

This was amazing and so easy to make. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing!

This recipe is fantastic. I subbed oat milk instead of almond and sweetened with a combo of maple syrup and honey. Perfect cozy drink for the fall when you want something latte-ish but don’t want caffeine. Thank you!

I made this as written and used a little raw honey ( I’m a beekeeper) as sweetener. Yummy.

I was barred from drinking coffee a very long time ago, hence my profound love of tea(my Dad has been surprised and pleased cos he loves tea since he was born). I don’t know how I stumbled on this recipe but its absolutely great and my taste buds thank you. I made quite some adjustments. First all my spices were ground, no coconut milk or oil was used and I allowed it to boil because i know the ginger spice always settled at the bottom. I also used sugar (I’m out of honey). So all I used was unsweetened almond milk, tumeric, ginger, and sugar. The result was the best and first golden milk I’ve ever had.
Also for the college student with only microwave access, you can always dissolve the ginger in warm water, then boil it in the microwave before using it in your recipe.
Thanks again

I paid over $10 for a 1/4 cup mixture of turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and a dash of black pepper to make the golden milk. I went to the farmers market and purchased all of the ingredients for under $5 and a lot more product. It taste just like the mixture I purchased for $10. So glad I can make my own and save money in the process!

I’ve made this three times now and I think it is absolutely delicious as written. I think it is very comforting and tastes so healthy. I used a small amt of maple syrup (1/2 tsp) as my sweetener for 1 serving. Perfect!!!!

It was incredibly easy to make and actually very tasty. My doctor recommended this for my arthritis. So that it tastes good is a definite plus!

I googled this recipe, and not surprised minimalist baker has the best rated and tastiest recipe of all (since she rocks at everything!) I made this recipe almost exactly and it was perfect, I was only missing the almond milk (I only had boxed coconut milk at the time of making) so I just used my boxed coconut milk in its place. I bet the almond milk makes it thicker, creamier, and tastier so I’ll definitely be buying it. I’m a Chai tea drinker in the morning, and a golden milk drinker in the evenings. A warm cup of each fills my belly with warmth and happiness, just the right amount of spices, and health benefits to boast :) thanks for reading!

Thank you for a lovely recipe, one so fantastic I added it to my post this morning! Turmeric is so magical, and it is hard to adequately fit into the diet. This works! Thanks!

I actually looked up purchasing “golden milk” powder that seemed pretty spendy and I wasn’t sure about the investment. I stumbled upon this recipe and was pleasantly surprised that I had all the spices available in my pantry. The recipe is fantastic! I did substitute with soy milk, since that’s all I had, but really looking forward to trying it with coconut milk. I can’t speak to the health benefits yet, but I’m loving this alternative to chai!

Very good and easy! The coconut flavour was a little strong for me, so the next night I adjusted it to be mostly cashew milk. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for the delicious recipe! A fijian Indian friend of mine had given me a recipe for golden milk…but I had lost it. Thank you again, this is sooo delicious!

Delicious! Ive just started living dairy free and still getting used to milk alternatives and not drinking coffee. This recipe is amazing??? It is by far the best ive tried.
Thank you for sharing. I know its only a warm drink but it is so nice and I now genuinely look foward to my morning tumeric latte experience rather than focusing on the coffee I’m missing out on. Thank you

Love this recipe. I use 1 tbsp of either agave or maple syrup per serving if I’m looking to enjoy the drink. If I just want the benifits and less calories I reduce the liquid and drink it like a shot haha

When I drink this before bed on days that I’ve done some kind of high-impact activity (ie. running), I really notice the difference the next morning. I often have pain in my knees but this has made a huge difference. I love having relief without having to take painkillers.
