WHAT IS GOLDEN MILK?
In the last period we heard so much about “GOLDEN MILK“.I start by saying that unless what its name says, It is not milk at all or at least not dairy. It is an amazing beverage made up of a combination of turmeric and coconut milk or oil, depends on your taste. Turmeric is known as a medicinal food for its numerous healthy effects: Natural anti-inflammatory, boosts brain-derived neurotrophic factor that improves brain function and lowers risk of brain diseases, lowers risk of heart diseases (and there are many other).
Are you still interested into making this delicious and super healthy cocktail?
GOLDEN MILK RECIPE
There are many different recipes on the web and for me It is very hard to find my favourite one. Here on this post I suggest two recipes, one is the traditional way, few ingredients that may not please everyone’s taste.
The other one is a more delicious and a different way to try it. I used almond milk instead of coconut milk.
First Recipe
1/2 cup turmeric powder
1 cup water
1.5 teaspoons black pepper
5tablespoons virgin coconut oil
In a pot cook water, black pepper and turmeric untill it forms a paste for about 7 to 10 minutes. Than remove from the heat and add coconut oil.
No you have created your golden past. To make it into a drink, in a pot heat coconut milk and 1 teaspoon of your paste untill it is well combine and add honey and cinnamon to taste.
Second Recipe
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon minced ginger
a pinch of black pepper
4 cups unsweetened milk
1 teaspoon honey or few drops of stevia (if you are a sweet tooth)
In a pot whik coconut oil, black pepper turmeric and ginger for 2-3 minutes than add almond milk until it comes to a boil. add honey or stevia to taste.
Impressions
There are some people who prefer to drink it in the morning and other like me who prefer to drink it before sleeping time. I actually think that, other than its incredible effects for our body, It helped me to sleep better and the morning after I always feel super energized and fresh.
Tips
Serve it in a superchic mug and drink it while watching at you favorite Tv Show on netflix and I swear that It tastes 100% better. Promise!
