Golden Milk
​P | VEG | V | GF
Makes 2 servings
This warm beverage comes from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system, which is based on ancient writings that rely on a “natural” and holistic approach to physical and mental health. They key ingredient is turmeric, which grows as a bright yellowish orange root that looks like fresh ginger, but smaller. The curcumin found in turmeric is a powerhouse anti-inflammatory agent; it’s widely available as a gel cap supplement. The rest of the ingredients are mostly for flavor, but ginger is good for digestion and the others may have additional benefits.
 
I used pumpkin pie spice as a convenience, but you can substitute ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ginger, and ¼ tsp cloves, if you have those in your pantry. Whether you believe in the health benefits or not, any non-caffeinated, delicious warm beverage in the evening can help you sleep well.
 mug and enjoy.
