Equipment

  • Saucepan with lid

Ingredients

  • 3 cups non dairy milk (I used oat milk)
  • 3 raw almonds (skin on)
  • 1 tablespoon raw cashews
  • ¼ teaspoon saffron
  • 1½ teaspoons ground turmeric (or use 3 teaspoons fresh, grated turmeric root)
  • 2 teaspoons ginger (grated)
  • 1½ teaspoons chai masala
  • 4 teaspoons sugar (I used coconut sugar. You can use maple syrup or turbinado sugar or any other sugar. If low carb use stevia or erythritol).

Instructions

  • Place the milk in a blender along with the saffron and nuts. Blend until very smooth. (You can skip this step if you aren't adding nuts. Just add the saffron to the milk in the saucepan.)
  • Add the blended milk to a saucepan along with all of the remaining ingredients. Let the turmeric milk infuse with the spices over low or medium low heat until the milk is just about to boil.
  • Turn off the heat and let the golden milk stand, covered, for five more minutes. Strain into cups and enjoy!
