Turmeric Nutmilk


If you've never tried making Golden Turmeric Milk, you are in for a treat!

To me, it captures the essence of coziness in a mug. It is simple, yet the flavor is so rich every sip feels like a celebration.

Plus, it is a little treat you can feel good about.

Whether it's the crackle of the fireplace or the patter of rain on your window, Golden Turmeric Milk is the companion you didn't know you needed.

Ingredients

  • Milk: You can use regular dairy milk, or your favorite milk alternative. I like to use oat milk or cashew milk to make this recipe.
  • Ground Turmeric: A potent spice known for its vibrant yellow hue and earthy flavor. Beyond its culinary use, turmeric is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it a healthful addition to any dish.
  • Ground Cardamom: An aromatic spice, cardamom imparts a slightly sweet and spicy flavor to our dish. It's a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine and is known to aid digestion, adding both flavor and health benefits to our recipe.
  • Ground Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a sweet flavor, perfectly complementing the other spices.
  • Sweetener of Choice: Whether you prefer the natural sweetness of honey or maple syrup, or a sugar-free option like stevia, the choice is yours. The sweetener balances out the flavors, ensuring our dish is not just nutritious but delicious too.

Tips and Tricks

  • Warm it Up: For a comforting and cozy beverage, gently heat your Turmeric Nutmilk after blending. It’s perfect for chilly mornings or relaxing evenings.
  • Boost with Black Pepper: Adding a pinch of ground black pepper not only enhances the flavor but also increases the absorption of turmeric’s active compound, curcumin, boosting its anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla extract can add an extra layer of sweetness and aroma, making each sip even more enjoyable.
  • Make it Frothy: After heating, use a milk frother to get that luxurious, creamy froth on top. It adds a special touch to your Turmeric Nutmilk that feels like a hug in a mug.

Storing

Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze in an ice cube tray for up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight when you are ready.
