There are certain things that I am passionate about — my family, college football, decadent baked goods and healthy foods (just to name a few). I became even more passionate about health after dealing with my own health issues and working to figure out a solution.
I shared my own health journey on my 6 Superfood Smoothies post and talked about the incredible benefits of tumeric for reducing inflammation and swelling. It is such a powerful antioxidant. I recently discovered “golden milk” also known as turmeric tea at Whole Foods and I am hooked! Golden milk turmeric tea has been known for centuries as a healing tea.
Golden milk is made with almond milk, turmeric, and warming spices such as ginger and cinnamon.
Golden Milk Turmeric Tea recipe is slightly sweet with a touch of real maple syrup. It is a warm, comforting drink with major health benefits. This turmeric tea is simmered on the stove and can be drunk warm or cold. It is wonderful both ways and my kids even drink it cold! This golden milk helps with relaxation and is perfect to drink before bed.
Golden milk is made with turmeric, which is a bright yellow spice used in Indian cooking. It is been widely known for its ancient health benefits. To make this golden milk, you may use fresh grated turmeric or turmeric powder. Fresh grated ginger or dried ginger may be used but keep in mind that you need less dried powder than fresh.

Hi! How long can this be kept in the fridge? 6 cups of milk is a lot for just myself but I’d drink this every morning.
love your post !!! what are the brand of your spices you use could not read the label…
just started my journey drinking golden milk .
thx
tessa
6 cups of milk. How many servings is this? I need to go to the store then I’m totally gonna try it!
Good Day,
If you don’t have Maple syrup can you use honey instead?
I don’t think I’ve ever commented to tell you, but I tried this after you posted it, and we have grown to love it! I use more Stevia for sweetener (I need the sweet to balance the spice) but it’s kind of addictive. 🙂 Thanks for sharing — I’ve passed this recipe along to friends who also are trying to increase their turmeric consumption.
