Reasons You Will Love This Recipe!
- In a Cup, It Feels Just Like a Warm Hug. While the flavor profile of golden milk is somewhat reminiscent of chai tea and chai tea lattes, its purpose is to calm rather than energize. An excellent choice for a nighttime wind down, it features earthy aromas and warm, aromatic spices.
- You Can Make It Fit Your Needs and Preferences. On top of being the ideal drink to have before bed, traditional golden milk is so versatile that you can make it according to your own tastes and dietary restrictions. To make your drink even cozier, try adding a warming spice like nutmeg. To make this drink vegan (or if you simply prefer the taste), you may substitute maple syrup for the honey.
- You’ll Get a Ton of Nutrients From It. You can see the turmeric and ginger in these Turmeric Rice and Turmeric Smoothies, as well as in the warm beverage known as golden milk, which is also known as turmeric milk. The components in this drink have anti-inflammatory and sleep-inducing properties.
