I LOVE Golden Milk. Because it’s a warm, creamy, spicy drink that feels just like a big hug.
However, I’d never tasted it until a few years ago. And oh, what I was missing!
The Glow
Look at the lovely color of golden milk. It comes from the ingredient turmeric. And not only does turmeric make golden milk a nice color but also makes it so healthy.
And the benefits of turmeric and its superpower- curcumin- blend beautifully with the addition of the spices. So ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and black pepper are my choices.
Now whip up this easy recipe for golden milk. Because it’s not only good, but good for you.
To sweeten this up, add a teaspoon of date syrup or maple syrup to your milk.
The good benefits of golden milk
And after doing some research of my own, the science backs up the health claims. Just look at all the goodness in a cup of this warm beverage:
- Curcumin has anti-bacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties
- curcumin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
- ginger may fight against respiratory infections and aids in digestion
- cinnamon has powerful anti-diabetic properties
- black pepper increases the bioavailability of curcumin
- nutmeg has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties
- cloves are antimicrobial, antioxidant, and high in manganese
And it’s so pretty too!
Gratitude for this glorious drink
Golden milk is so comforting when you’re not feeling your healthiest. Also, it’s a nice replacement for coffee. But additionally, a welcoming drink before bed. And it’s so easy to whisk up a cup anytime.
Isn’t it great to find something with a taste you love AND super healthy too?! Simply, it’s a no-brainer! No guilt, all glory. So come on over and enjoy a healthy beverage choice!
