5-Minute Vegan Golden Milk

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.

That is very true, I have been drinking this for the past 6 to 7 months. I drink it with lemon and very rarely with home made coconut milk. I have managed to lose and keep my weight down and loste my belly fat/ bloating. (No more yo-yo weight, Am costant) combine with 30 to 45 min excersise.

Wow, you’re a genius! I always liked the idea of golden milk (anti-inflammatory, a hot comforting drink) but didn’t like it that much when ordering it in expensive vegan restaurants and was disappointed every time. Your addition of the coconut oil really knocked it out of the park for me. Since I didn’t have almond milk or coco milk at home, I used a combo of nonfat oat milk and flax milk. Also to up the comfort factor, I doubled the amount of cinnamon (I just love that stuff) and a smidge more turmeric. Thanks for this recipe. Finally, I can enjoy golden milk at home and without the hefty price tag!

I love the taste! I have tried several Golden Milk recipes. The coconut milk and coconut oil is the difference. It’s a nice change. It takes the place of coffee or tea for me. I drink in the morning or at night. I have several diseases and conditions. I’m gluten intolerant, allergic to cow’s milk and beef and etc. You have helped me out a great deal. I love your recipes! Thank you!

This beverage is SO yummy! I have been meaning to mix this for some time and I just got around to it. I will definitely drinking this beverage often. I believe it will become my evening night cap. Thanks so much. Keep the wonderful recipes coming!

My first time experiencing this drink was at a late-night juice bar in Houston, amd my friend and I were astounded! Stumbling upon the recipe here was serendipity (the MB cookbook is a regular go-to in my collection), and I initially began making this recipe as-is. I soon discovered that I needed to either decrease the liquid or increase the amount of spice used in order to achieve not the just the distinct scent but the flavor as well – merely a matter of preference.

I will be making this with just almond milk next time, but it is ~insanely~ delicious – on par with our juice bar experience – and my son is raving that this needs to be a culinary staple in our household! Ms. Dana was absolutely right about its addictive nature, and I’ve already had to make and deliver the mix (https://minimalistbaker.com/4-ingredient-golden-milk-mix/) to a homebound friend. ❤ Merci beaucoup, Mme Dana.

I just made this and it was super yummy. I’m not eating any type of sugar or sweetners so I left out maple syrup and it was totally sweet enough from the coconut milk. I used full fat coconut milk and unsweetened soymilk because that’s what I had. I also used fresh ginger that I grated with the microplane and left in instead of straining because I like the ginger in there. Thank you! I will make again as soon as I get to the store to get more coconut milk.

I used almond milk and i was out of coconut oil this morning BUT I will definitely make this again! The flavor is amazing! Found your recipe first doing a search for golden milk…I dont have to search any further! Thank you!!

This is absolutely delicious. I actually used all ‘whole’ oat milk, which was still super creamy.

I made this recipe because it was the simplest and easiest receipt I have found. I suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis. I drank a cup last night I feel like I slept a bit better than usual. I also love the taste.

I melted the organic virgin coconut oil first, gently. Tested it with my finger … Not that I recommend this, being an oil. If you’re not paying attention you could remove some skin. I did this because powdered product makes us better with very warm oil. The turmeric, powdered Ginger, powdered cinnamon, and pinch of pepper. After they we’re thoroughly combined with the oil I added soy milk, just because that’s what I had on hand. The leftovers. I drank the whole thing, and it turned out really well.

I’ve had some not too good attempts at golden milk and got a bit discouraged but I wanted to give this one a try (it looks so yummy in the pics). I badly needed it today, so just used home made coconut milk. I made just a little bit of it, just in case it turns out I simply don’t like golden milk at all… AND THIS TURNED OUT AWESOME!!!! It has the right balance of all the spices and the coconut oil gives it this smoothness (apart from the health / nutritious reasons for it to be there). I guess it will be my go-to comfort drink when under the weather :) Thanks a lot for the recipe (and amazing photos)!!!!! (and I’m getting addicted to your blog)

PS

Coconut oil is considered to be one of the healthy oils. Excellent food to fight Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Far superior to other oils.

Cant tell you how happy this recipe has made me. Golden Milk mixes are ridiculously expensive. I made it this evening. I didn’t have the light coconut milk (my fave brand is the simple truth organic at freddys) on hand but I DID have a can of sweetened condensed coconut milk. I used 4 cups Almond Breeze, a HEAPING table spoon of the sweetened condensed, a whole cinnamon stick, all the other spices. lots of pepper and lots of ginger! OMG!!!!!!

Thanks again

This was delicious! The coconut oil made it so creamy. Thanks for the recipe.

I made this per the recipe and it was FANTASTIC. I love the hint of sweet (I used liquid Stevia) as it curbed my sweet tooth craving.

I use 2 tBlespoons of cashews with a cup of hot water in my blender with turmeric powder etc, 30secs and a lovely creamy hot drink with a frothy head. So easy.

This is like golden crack in a cup! ? I love it!!

I made this today and wow it tasted amazing! :o Even my dad liked it and he’s very picky about food. :D

I love golden milk, but if you want to spice it up a little, add in some peppermint! Oh So good!

WOW! I didn’t add coconut milk or sweetener, and it was still delicious! I never would have thought to add pepper, but I love the kick and will take any digestive help I can get!

Made this today with unsweetened almond milk and agave nectar! So delightful and nourishing!

Thank you Minimalist Baker for Yet another delightful recipe!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe!! And let me say first that I don’t love all golden milk. A lot are too spicy for me but this was just perfect. I used cashew milk but I have canned coconut milk and almond milk and will use them next time! Thank you! I love your recipes!!!!

Absolutely smoothe, creamy and delicious. The coconut oil makes a nice silky texture. I have also made this and poured over ice after cooled, refreshing as well. I have added a little vanilla also. Really nice on a cold winter day…anytime, morning, afternoon or night.

Just enjoyed making this with my own freshly made creamy Almond Milk and added the light Coconut milk
Tried it hot first time
Yummy but found it a little rich so chilled it and added freshly squeezed orange juice to cut through the richness and it’s really delicious that way for me
The Orange works with the other flavours
Guess you could have it hot with the juice as well but refreshing chilled for Warmer Seasons

Just made this fro the first time and it was absolute perfection!! Thank you for an easy delicious and healthy recipe?

I have seen this recipe and some like it for a while now. Today was the day I decided to try it since I have been struggling with back pains and an achy stomach. Glad I tried, it’s like a warm chai latte and it’s even better on this nice cold day we’re having here in NYC.

Just made it. I left out the sweetener this time because I am trying to go to sleep. I love your simplistic approach and while I forgot the almond milk (used carton coconut instead), I did remember to get some canned coconut milk which was much thicker than the carton. It turned out great even without the sweetener. Thanks for a great recipe.

This was delicious and is perfect for anyone following a Keto WOE! I will be making this a regular nightly treat for sure ?? Thank you for sharing!

This is probably the tastiest golden milk recipe I’ve tried. I only had full fat coconut milk on hand, so I probably could have adjusted the ratio to include more almond milk and less coconut milk, but it’s soooo deliciously creamy, and I’m trying to focus on making sure I get enough calories right now anyway! The amount of calories and fat in it actually make it a great little “snack” to hold me over until dinner.

Hi Dana!! I love your recipe!! I’ve been trying to incorporate tumeric into my diet and I thought this would be the perfect way, since I’m a tea drinker. I made it for the first time yesterday and was a little skeptical that I wouldn’t like it. But it’s super delicious. So glad I found your recipe!

OMG SOOO GOOOD and easy !!

I absolutely love this recipe. I live on the East Coast and the only place that sells it is Wegmans which is great until they’re closed or times like now when I have a cold and don’t feel like driving 25 minutes to get a cup. My friend told me about your site and sent the recipe so I could make some at home. I absolutely LOVE it.

I’ve tweaked it a little to my own taste. The fresh cinnamon is definitely better than ground. Thanks for that tip!

I like the texture of the tea to be a little less velvety, so I use about 1/2 table spoon instead of a full one.

Normally when I have a sore throat it sucks because I don’t like thin teas and drinking coffee throughout the day soothes the soreness but is dehydrating and too much caffeine. This tea is great. It’s low calorie, warm like coffee and much smoother and heartier than sipping chamomile or Earl Grey.

I’m sipping some now on the couch as my husband sits nearby reading our daughter a story (since I’m trying not to get her sick)

Anyhow I don’t mean to gush. I’m just really happy with this recipe. It’s great ??

Made this, three times now and have it memorized! Since I developed an almond sensitivity from too much almond milk/flour, I used 100% coconut milk. It was delicious! For me it was much improved the second times when I stirred more frequently, that cut down dramatically on the sludge left behind in bottom of cup. Thanks for your culinary brilliance!
