Ingredients
- 400 ml milk, any milk

- 1 tbsp honey, to taste
- 1 tsp coconut oil, optional
Liquid Sunshine
There's something deeply comforting about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of golden milk. It's anti-inflammatory, gently spiced, and honestly one of the most soothing drinks I know. Perfect for those evenings when you want something warm but not caffeinated.
How to Make It
Warm the milk in a small pot over medium heat. Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper (the pepper helps your body absorb the turmeric — science!).
Heat until steaming but not boiling. Stir in the honey and coconut oil until dissolved.
Pour into mugs and dust with a little extra cinnamon.
Tina's Tips
- The black pepper is essential — it increases curcumin absorption by 2000%
- Be careful with turmeric — it stains everything it touches!
- Add a shot of espresso for a "dirty golden latte"
- This is my go-to evening drink when I want to wind down
