The glowing benefits of golden milk:

Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibiotic, analgesic, anti-arthritic, antiseptic. It is good for chronic inflammatory conditions such as asthma, eczema, psoriasis and auto-immune conditions and for pain relief and post operatively (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21671126). Great for digestion and helps reduce gas and bloating. It is reported to help fight arthritis, cancer and viral infections: (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22921746).

There are over 90 constituents in turmeric, the most famous of which is curcumin. Turmeric has long been held in value for its medicinal properties and is regularly used in Ayurverdic medicine but has come under a lot of scientific scrutiny from the western medical profession for its therapeutic uses.


INGREDIENTS:
  • ¼ teaspoon (or more if you can tolerate the taste) of turmeric paste
  • 1 cup almond milk (or organic cow’s milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, rice milk or oat milk)
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of organic, cold pressed raw coconut oil (or sesame oil, sweet almond oil)
  • Some honey or maple syrup to taste (optional)
  • Pinch of ginger and/or cinnamon (optional)

RECIPE:
Add the milk and turmeric paste into a pot and cook on medium heat. Add the black pepper which helps with the absorption of the turmeric, plus the ginger/cinnamon/cardamom to taste, some other great anti-inflammatories.
 ​
Stir constantly until just before boiling.
 
Remove from heat. When cooler, add the oil(s) and honey to taste.
 
The coconut oil supplies you with healthy fats and further increases turmeric absorption.
 
The drink should be a lovely golden colour, hence its name.
