Golden Milk with Fresh Turmeric & Ginger
A warm golden milk made with fresh turmeric, ginger, oat milk and aromatic spices. A gentle, comforting drink that supports digestion, warmth and evening calm without needing heavy sweetness.
Ingredients
- 500 ml oat milk
- 1 small piece fresh turmeric thinly sliced
- 1 small piece fresh ginger thinly sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
- 4-6 black peppercorns
- 1-2 tbsp honey optional
Instructions
- Lightly crush the cinnamon stick, star anise and black peppercorns in a mortar.
- Add oat milk, turmeric, ginger and crushed spices to a small pot.
- Warm gently over medium-low heat and bring to a light simmer. Watch carefully, as oat milk can rise quickly.
- Simmer for about 5–6 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it steep briefly.
- Strain into cups.
- Add honey if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Make It Less Sweet: Skip the honey or add only a small amount after simmering. The cinnamon and oat milk already bring natural sweetness.
Keeping Flavours and Compounds: Let the spices steep for a few extra minutes off the heat instead of boiling longer. This keeps the flavor warm and aromatic without making the drink too strong.
