1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk of your choice over low heat. I prefer to use half raw cow’s milk and half full-fat coconut milk. The coconut milk contains fat that helps turmeric be absorbed. However, if you don’t have coconut milk, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil!
2. Add the turmeric powder, coconut oil (if using), maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper powder.
3. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
4. Infuse warm spices by continuing to heat the mixture over low heat for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the warm spices to infuse into the milk. Be cautious not to bring the mixture to a boil; we want a warm, comforting drink.
5. Pour the golden milk into a cup and serve it warm. Top with marshmallows or whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon if desired.

How To Make Iced Golden Milk:

1. For a refreshing twist, you can easily transform the golden milk into a chilled beverage, perfect for summer!

6. Pour the chilled golden milk over the ice.
7. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and whipped cream if desired.
