Golden Milk Recipe
February 5, 2016
The star ingredient in Golden Milk is turmeric. I drink this a few days a week to curb cravings, reduce inflammation, and lower blood sugar. I love all the additional benefits that turmeric provides. This “milk” is great any time of the day.
Some of the Many Benefits of Turmeric:
- Anti-inflammatory
- Lowers cholesterol
- Antioxidant
- Reduces gas and bloating
- May prevent Alzheimer’s
FIRST CREATE THE TURMERIC PASTE
Before making golden milk, you need to create the turmeric paste.
To do this combine 1/3 c turmeric powder and ½ c water in a saucepan over medium heat and stir continually for 6-8 minutes. Add a sprinkle of black pepper and 2 T coconut oil and continue to stir for another minute. Let cool and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in a glass container.
