I love warming up with a mug of this simple Golden Milk—it’s creamy, gently spiced, and incredibly comforting. Made with turmeric, coconut milk, and a touch of honey, it’s the kind of drink I reach for when I want something soothing without much effort.
Ingredients
1½ tsp turmeric ($0.10)
1 tsp vanilla extract ($0.15)
½ tsp cinnamon ($0.05)
¼ tsp cardamom ($0.08)
¼ tsp black pepper ($0.03)
1 can unsweetened full fat coconut milk (13.66 oz., $3.28*)
2 cups whole milk ($0.50**)
1 inch piece ginger (grated $0.10)
3 Tbsp honey (to taste, $0.25)
Instructions
1Add all ingredients except the honey to the pan. Grate fresh ginger into the mixture and whisk to combine. Bring the pot up to a simmer (do not boil) and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
2Strain the mixture into a bowl to remove the fibrous ginger pieces.
3Return the golden milk to the pot and bring it back to a low simmer. Add honey to taste. Whisk until the honey has melted.
