📖 Ingredient notes
- Milk. If you are dairy free, vegan or paleo, make sure to use almond milk or another dairy free milk of your choice. If you are not, you can use dairy milk.
- Turmeric powder. Turmeric has been used in Ayurveda medicine for thousands of years for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Cinnamon. I'm using ground cinnamon but if you prefer, you can use a cinnamon stick.
- Coconut oil. It makes the turmeric more available for our bodies to absorb because it is fat-soluble.
- Black pepper. It also helps the absorption of curcumin by our body.

👩🏻🍳Top tip
Warning ⚠️ Turmeric stains a lot (on clothes and also on cookware, cups...) so you probably shouldn't be wearing your favorite clothes while making your golden milk nor should you use your best white China.
