This time of year I love to start my day with a warm, filling mug of Golden Milk. You can search the internet all over for recipes (there are lots!) but a few basic elements you’ll find consistent: a milk and tumeric. I love adding a spot of ghee to mine when my throat feels dry and scratchy from allergies (hint: my children have taken to adding a spot of ghee to any of their tea during this time of year for it’s throat-soothing qualities). I also looooove the warming spices of cinnamon, cardamom, clove and nutmeg. I make mine on the stovetop – keep an eye on it or it will bubble over quickly!
Golden Milk, per the Minehart Home
- 2 cups milk of choice (we are DIGGING the oatmilk right now and it’s much more sustainable than almond milk, and more tolerable for the tummies in our home)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 whole clove
- Several generous shakes cardamom
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and sliced open
- 1/2 inch fresh turmeric (available at Meijer in Marion), peeled and grated
- 1-2 tsp ghee
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey
Bring to a simmer and then strain into your favorite mug
