Golden milk can be a great substitution for your morning coffee, but many die-hard fans use it as a nightcap to help get better sleep. And while you can probably find golden milk tea or a golden milk latte in your local fancy coffee shop, you can also easily make golden milk at home. Here’s how:

INGREDIENTS
1.5 cup non-dairy milk of choice (try coconut or almond milk)
1 tsp turmeric powder (or 1 inch piece fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger (or 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated)
pinch of freshly-ground peppercorns (black pepper is said to increase bioavailability, or your body’s ability to absorb the turmeric)
sweetener to taste (try 1 tsp of maple syrup, raw honey, agave or some organic stevia drops)
1 tsp coconut oil
DIRECTIONS
Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth and frothy.
Gently simmer in a small pot for 5-10 minutes.
If using fresh turmeric and ginger, strain before drinking.
Yields one serving
