Homemade Golden Milk Mix
This Homemade Golden Milk Mix could also be called "Sweet and Spicy Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Latte,” but that doesn’t have quite the same ring to it. Make some for yourself, or as a great homemade gift!
Servings: 12 servings (about 1 ½ cups)
Calories: 180kcal
Ingredients
- 2 whole vanilla beans OR 2 teaspoons vanilla bean powder
- 1 cup coconut milk powder I’ve been using this brand with really good results
- ⅓ cup ground turmeric I *love* Thrive Market’s spices
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup date sugar more or less depending on taste preference
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
To Make the Mix:
- If using whole vanilla beans, slice the beans in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Scrape the vanilla flecks out of all four halves into a medium bowl. OR, if using vanilla bean powder, add that to a medium bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Store in an airtight container.
To Make Golden Milk:
- Combine two heaping tablespoons of the Golden Milk Mix with 8 ounces of boiling water or hot coconut milk (for a richer drink). Whisk until frothy and smooth (a frother works for this, too!).
- Sprinkle top with additional cinnamon or turmeric, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Trouble finding coconut milk powder? Check the baking section of a major supermarket—sometimes they have it next to the canned coconut milk.
Coconut powder sometimes can be lumpy—you can also mix this up in the food processor to get a nice, smooth powder.
Date sugar is just dried and ground-up whole dates. Check your health food store, or sub in equal amounts of another dry sweetener (coconut sugar, maple sugar, sucanat, etc.) if you can’t track it down.
I’ve had this last in the pantry for at least a month with no problems. I tend to go through it a lot quicker than that, though.
