Golden Milk Paste

Soothing and overall amazing!!

Delicious! I made this and had a cup with breakfast. It was my first time trying golden milk, and I think I’m hooked! I included the optional spices and used 3 Tbsp of maple syrup. I made my warm cup with oat milk, and it’s so lovely.

What a lovely recipe. We made some warm golden milk and some overnight rolled oats with chia, walnut, oat milk and golden paste. Delicious!
The only change I made was to put some cracked black pepper in the paste for just a little bit of extra heat.

I have been making this for a few years and love it. I don’t know what it is, but I feel more alert and have so much energy afterwards. Thank you!

This is such a good recipe, so delicious especially on a Fall day!

I just made this. Incredible! Great recipe and tastes amazing!! Thank you for sharing!

Hello There! Well, I made this paste last night: me and my daughter both had golden milk before bed: both loved it and with the leftovers i made overnight “golden” oat/chia jar for my breakfast: love it. Imma try the paste in banana soft serve, and I think a jar of this paste (maybe with a nice mug) would make for a pretty little gift. Great recipe, thanks.

I love golden milk, but most times don’t want to take the time to throw it together. Having the paste on hand is a great solution, thank you! I also put an old butter crock to use. It sitting in my fridge reminds me of the bachelor’s jam my grandmother used to make :)

SO DELICIOUS! Lasts a long time and is a great gift. I am on Whole30 and I made this with DATE SYRUP instead of maple and it is delicious with coffee and @minimalistbaker’s cashew creamer. THANK you, I can always could on you to put out delicious and healthy recipes.

I had the idea this morning to use a spoonful of paste to make golden oatmeal for breakfast and it was wonderful:) I added raisins and a little extra drizzle of maple syrup

I have been wanting to make this for so long! I am a coffee drinker but I love this for an afternoon treat or drink when winding down at night. I love it with oat milk! It doesn’t really ‘dissolve’ or totally mix with the oat milk so I keep a spoon in my cup so I can stir often while drinking. Love this delicious and warming drink! :)

I made this Paste and made a cup with unsweetened cashew milk as that is what I had on hand. It was so creamy and delish! I will try the iced version next. Thank you for this recipe.

I LOVE this. I first tried it when on a retreat at The Coast Ridge in San Francisco. I was so happy to find it here. I have made several batches of this because I love having it each morning. I don’t eat any sweets so I didn’t add any sweetener. Because of this I added extra warm water. Often times I add extra cinnamon once I mix it up in my cup.
Thank you so much
PS. I an so happy I found the Minimalist :)

I’m obsessed with this recipe and immediately shared it with all my friends. I drink it every day. I enjoy cardamom so I added a bit of it (1/8 tsp), and I tend to use cow’s milk, but you can’t go wrong with this comforting beverage.

We made this and only used 1/8 of the maple syrup called for (we like to add honey on an individual basis). Because of the lack of liquid from the maple syrup it was too dry… crumbly. Added more than double the oil and it was still bit too dry. Think I’ll add even more coconut oil or maple syrup. We tasted it made up into milk with honey and it is delicious. Thanks for the recipe share.

Oh my goodness, this Golden Milk Paste made the most wonderful bedtime hot Golden Milk. I have achy knees and I am hoping it helps to ease my aches and make my sleep better.

Just made it came out wonderful made it cold going to put it in the fridge I added a pinch of Stevia to the final product hope that’s OK taste fantastic thank you again so much

Thank you for this wonderful idea on how to put together a quick cup of golden milk for daily enjoyment! I’m sure it is perfect as is but for my personal taste, I added about double the coconut oil, so needed a little less water, increased the black pepper and added ground cayenne pepper. I steamed homemade almond milk with the frothier on my espresso machine then stirred in the paste. It was amazing and oh so comforting!

This is such a great recipe and so easy to put together and use. The combination and amounts of spices and mixture creates the best golden milk. I use it daily and have shared it with lots of of my friends. The positive feedback I’ve received has been overwhelming so I am writing this review to give that back to you, the creator of this recipe. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!

I love it! So good! I blended dry spices

Made this without the syrup and added a bit more oil and hot water to make up for the fluid volume. Sprinkled some stevia after milk and it was delicious!

My friend and I made this and I had a hard time trying to remember if I used 2 or 4 tbsp of tumeric. It did not turn out to be a past and we figured out I didnt put enough tumeric in it. IE 2 tpbs. So when we put 2 more tbsp it worked out perfect. We made it with Almond milk. Just hope it will help me feel better. I just dont know how often I can use this without getting too much tumeric. Thanks Minimalist Baker for this recipe. God Bless. NG.

Made this tonight and it’s perfect! Followed the recipe and just did a pinch of cloves/nutmeg. Added a bit of cardamom. Only needed the coconut oil and maple-no extra water. Made hot golden milk with oat milk and whisked it together. Delicious, great balance of sweet and spicy =]

I could drink this golden recipe everyday. Super tasty! I make with your homemade almond milk (which I also love). I made several bottles as gifts for the holidays and everyone loved them. Thank you!

YUMMM :-D
I’d make this recipe at home opposed to paying eight whoppers for a turmeric latte ANY DAY! The paste is super easy to make and only takes a minute! I didn’t have ground ginger so I minced some fresh stuff and added it to the mix. Delicious!

I lost my recipes in a recent move (whole box of kitchen items disappeared) and since golden milk paste is something I made before, I was really looking for ratios. Surprised to see that you do not cook your turmeric with the black pepper – I always thought it was crucial to simmer them together in order to boost the effects. (errant assumption?) I use Ceylon cinnamon and fresh ginger (and fresh turmeric when I can find/grow it). The water is absorbed into the spices as you simmer them with the coconut oil, making a thick, rich paste. Interesting to see the use of maple syrup, I used honey in the past and usually add that not to the paste, but when making the actual milk. The cinnamon gives the paste some sweetness. Excellent sleep benefits as well as reducing inflammation and boosting immunities.

Hello there! I made this this morning and it was delicious! I added clove and nutmeg essential oils, fresh ground up cardamom, & made a paste out of some ginger. It has a good spice at the end. Thanks for the recipe!!

Very nice! I have never had this before. My friend sent me the link. I made mine in powder form–instead of a paste–and used Swerve Brown instead of maple syrup. Mixed it with hot almond milk. Super delicious!

This was a great paste recipe. I didn’t add maple syrup and instead used vanilla soy milk as my base, which is already sweet. It was delicious and warming and smells just right for the season.

Most delicious and convenient! I added more cinnamon, and 1/2t or so of ground cardamom, because Oaktown Spice includes that in their mix and I like it. Cardamom has anti-inflammatory properties, too.
Keep up the good work!

This is such a great caffeine-free alternative to my morning tea! It tastes identical to a turmeric latte that you would get in a cafe (and honestly it’s better because you know exactly what’s in it!). Thanks Dana! :)

This is one of my favourite things – it feels like such a warming treat and yet it’s even good for you! (sort of).

I have adapted this recipe to make it suitable for having at work where we have access to hot water but no stoves or microwaves for preparing a drink!

I use all the spices as suggested (reducing black pepper to half!), coconut sugar instead of maple syrup and I leave out the coconut oil and water, and instead (this is the real secret!) I use powdered coconut milk; about 1 Tbsp per serving.

By doing that, I have a dry mix that I can keep in my bag or in my locker at work that doesn’t need refrigerating and when I want to make a drink I just add hot water and stir! It’s perfect for a nice afternoon lift on an otherwise standard day at the office!

Thanks so much for this recipe, Dana! I love your blog and this is probably the 100th thing I’ve made of yours!

I love this! I did add an extra tsp of cinnamon to the mixture. I used almond milk to make it. It was so creamy and refreshing as a cold drink!

Simply delicious! I reduced the black pepper in half because I don’t tolerate it well and added cardamom in its place. This drink is incredibly warming, nourishing and anti-inflammatory to boot. I am a huge fan of Dana’s recipes because they are always tasty and easy to prepare!

Great recipe for Golden milk paste. I used fresh ingredients. 1/2 cup grated turmeric; 1/4 cup grated ginger; the rest as per your recipe.
Lasts up to 2 weeks in refrigerator. I place the jar to the back of the refrigerator as it is coldest there.
To make the golden milk: as per your instructions but use a small cup strainer.
Thank you!

I used oat milk and it came out so wonderful and creamy!!! Thanks Dana for another wonderful recipe!!

Love this!! Delicious, earthy, easy to do, and so pure and nourishing!!

Love this, I’ve wanted to make it since you published it! Instead of maple syrup, I used 4 tablespoons xylitol. I went ahead and used fresh, minced ginger. To prevent it from not lasting as long as the recipe using powdered, I placed spoonfuls on a baking sheet and froze it. Now the frozen disks can be dropped into milk or coffee. The ginger quickly sinks and doesn’t necessarily need to strained out, in my opinion. But the disk could also easily be placed into a mesh tea strainer and steeped before drinking. Couldn’t be easier or more delicious!

This was delightful! So warming and comforting. It has the perfect combination of spices. It was so good even having left out the maple syrup! Well done, Dana!

I’ve only tried golden milk once and it seemed like so much work. When I saw this recipe I thought it’d be a great time to try it again. I followed the recipe to the T and then tried it with coconut milk. It was tasty, but then my husband suggested watering it down a little. I then tried it with just water instead of milk and prefer it more. It gives it more of a tea taste than a creamy consistency. I think I was wanting a creamy treat, but turmeric doesn’t really naturally lend itself to sweet unless you add a lot of additional sweeteners. I still want the benefits of it, though, so I’m excited to have tried it with water. This is nothing against the actual recipe, just my preference. Like I said, I’m happy to have found this recipe because it’s super easy to now have in the fridge and just scoop out a little for an afternoon cup of cozy.

I love this drink! I like the fact it’s anti-inflammatory. I ran across your blog by accident and am looking forward to trying the recipes.

Easy to make. I added 1/8 tsp cardamom. It’s delicious!

Yummy!!! YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!

I tried the recipe on Minimalist Baker for Golden Milk and I liked it but I never made it again due to how time consuming and messy it was when I was ready to drink a cup of warm Golden Milk. I was thrilled to find this recipe for Golden Milk Paste! I made it up ahead and when I wanted to have it, it was ready in an instant with no mess! I know there is a lot of great medicine (anti-inflammatory) in these ingredients, so that’s my first reason for drinking it. I was delighted to find it tastes so good and be so comforting. I highly recommend this recipe.

Saw this on my instagram feed this morning and decided to give it a shot. I’ve tried other golden milk recipes before I never liked them enough to make them more than once. This combination of spices is just perfect! Will make again 100%!!!

This recipe is so easy and so delicious. I used pumpkin spice in replacement of the nutmeg and it worked perfectly. I can’t wait to make this recipe again and again. It definitely will become a staple in my house! I paired it with oat milk and put it in my milk frother. Heaven!

Excellent! made it with Soy Milk in place of coconut tastes beautiful. I’ve been looking for something like tea to have in the afternoon while trying to cut back on caffeine so this will be the replacement for at least one cup.

So good!

Thank you for this recipe. I know I’m going to prefer the paste to the dry powder mix. As I was making the paste I wondered what it would taste like if I added my dried ground oranges as the sweetener if there was no maple syrup in my cupboard. ? Added it to my homemade cashew milk. Love it!

Delicious and easy to make. My 5 year old helped me measure the ingredients. We made golden milk with the paste and the whole family loves it!

Just made this and it’s super yummy. Thanks for posting this! Usually don’t like coconut milk but since I had it for a prior recipe, I tried it and love it. And I’m not even vegan. I agree with a previous commenter that something similar for matcha latte would be great. I keep wanting to make a matcha latte but time is of the essence.

I have made a few different recipes of golden milk but I Love this one. Thanks for sharing.

I had never even heard of golden milk but this sounded good and I already had all of the ingredients so I just gave it a try using oatmilk to make the drink. OMG, this stuff is amazing! Thank you SO much for posting this recipe.

Delicious! I just used half of The black pepper suggested cuz I don’t like too much spice. So yummy

This was very tasty. Not a big fan of ginger, but the way the spices work with each other makes this drink taste balanced, creamy and earthy; I love it! I even had my mom and sister try it and they love it too.

Super tasty! Made it with soy milk. Added a few drops of stevia. There’s no reason I can’t have golden milk everyday now! Thanks so much for another great recipe!

So easy and delicious.
