Notes
*If the taste isn’t creamy enough for you, or you aren’t a huge ginger or turmeric fan, I did find that making this recipe with pre-sweetened coconut milk helped disguise their flavor much better. However, if using sweetened, please be extra careful to select an organic coconut milk brand without harsh preservatives.
*I’ve read that almond milk can also be used to make Golden Milk, however, due to my dietary restrictions, I am unable to confirm. If you use it yourself, please let me know how it tastes!
*Wear gloves when handling fresh turmeric—it easily stains the skin.
*Of all the things Golden Milk is rumored to help with, I personally have found it to be the most helpful for any mood-related issues.
