I love curling up with a good book and a hot drink and golden milk is a <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/natural-home\/hygge\/\">great hygge option<\/a>. Its earthy, golden spice is a powerful Ayurvedic medicine used for centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally gluten-free, golden milk is a tasty way to get the health <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/turmeric-uses\/\">benefits of turmeric<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turmeric-golden-milk\">Turmeric Golden Milk<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably encountered turmeric in Indian or Asian dishes. It\u2019s easily recognized by its bright yellow (and I mean very bright yellow!) color.<\/p>\n<p>Called haldi doodh in India, traditional turmeric tea is simply made with milk and turmeric. More modern versions of golden milk add everything from maple syrup to oat milk. Prepared this way with warming spices like cinnamon and ginger, even my kids love the flavor. It tastes similar to chai, but this recipe doesn\u2019t use cardamom.<\/p>\n<p>We can have this turmeric tea several times a week, depending on the time of year and what sounds good. I love drinking it, especially before bed. Golden milk aids relaxation and helps boost the immune system while sleeping.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-benefits-of-golden-milk\">Benefits of Golden Milk<\/h3>\n<p>Golden milk is more than tasty. Consuming turmeric supports digestion, immune function, and liver function. It may even offer protection from some types of cancer. Turmeric\u2019s anti-inflammatory properties make it popular for joint pain. It\u2019s also been shown to protect <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/podcast\/246\/\">heart and cardiovascular system<\/a> health.<\/p>\n<p>This tea maximizes the natural antioxidant power of turmeric because it\u2019s served hot. We\u2019re also combining it with other beneficial spices and a little fat and pepper for better absorption.<\/p>\n<p>There are several variations on how to make turmeric tea (given below). But here\u2019s what you need to get the full benefits of turmeric. Heat, the turmeric itself, add fat for absorption, and black pepper to activate the turmeric.<\/p>\n<p>Start with this base, and adjust the spices and sweeteners to your preference!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-milk-to-use\">Which Milk to Use<\/h3>\n<p>Traditionally turmeric milk is made with hot cow milk. If your family is able to tolerate it, grass-fed, raw milk adds a nice creamy flavor. Non-dairy milk options include almond milk, cashew milk, pecan, and oat milk. Coconut milk (not the canned kind, but <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/homemade-coconut-milk\/\">this recipe<\/a>) is another dairy-free option that adds some healthy fats. Some people use plant-based <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/is-soy-healthy\/\">soy milk<\/a>, but it\u2019s not something I use or recommend.<\/p>\n<p>It won\u2019t be as creamy, but you can even make this recipe with plain water instead of any milk. Bone broth is another great option for the base and you can omit the sweetener if you use broth. Broth obviously yields a more earthy, savory flavor. If you don\u2019t use milk or broth, consider adding a small amount of fat (like ghee or coconut oil) as it increases absorption.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling really brave?

I created this list of commonly asked questions to address the most asked ones:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-do-you-get-turmeric\">Where Do You Get Turmeric?<\/h3>\n<p>Lately, I get fresh turmeric from the garden. I\u2019ve also ordered dry, powdered turmeric in bulk before. I use it in many spice blends,<a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/beauty\/turmeric-face-mask\/\"> beauty recipes<\/a>, and this golden milk. Look for one that\u2019s organic, non-irradiated, and has curcumin. The brand will often specify a percentage. I\u2019ve ordered <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/go\/turmeric\/\">this one on<\/a> several occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Want an even more convenient option? One of my favorite brands, Organifi, makes a delicious ready-made<a href=\"https:\/\/www.organifishop.com\/collections\/organifi-gold?rfsn=1684695.71b307&amp;utm_campaign=wellnessmama+blog+goldenmilk&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_source=refersion\"> turmeric drink mix<\/a>. It\u2019s packed with superfoods to help with sleep, improve your immune system, and relax at night.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-if-i-don-t-like-turmeric-pepper-tea\">What If I Don\u2019t Like Turmeric\/Pepper\/Tea?<\/h3>\n<p>This might still be worth a try, as it doesn\u2019t taste like any of those. The black pepper is important here since it has piperine, a compound known to increase the benefits of turmeric.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-omit-the-honey-maple-syrup\">Can I Omit the Honey\/Maple Syrup?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course. I find it helps mellow out the strong flavor of the turmeric, but it\u2019s not necessary. You can also use stevia (healthy for blood sugar levels) or nutrient-rich<a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/natural-home\/blackstrap-molasses\/\"> blackstrap molasses<\/a> to get the health benefits. Be advised that molasses doesn\u2019t only offers a mild sweetness and gives it more of a gingerbread taste!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-get-turmeric-in-my-diet-another-way\">Can I Get Turmeric in My Diet Another Way?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure! But this is the tastiest in my opinion. If you aren\u2019t into turmeric lattes or don\u2019t want to take the time to drink them, just add the ingredients to any food, or take them alone. For instance, throw some turmeric, black pepper, and olive oil on some roasted veggies to accomplish the same thing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-have-health-condition-or-am-pregnant-nursing-can-i-drink-this\">I Have ___ Health Condition or Am Pregnant\/Nursing. Can I Drink This?<\/h3>\n<p>I always recommend talking with a health professional before using any natural remedy. The University of Maryland Medical Center reports it\u2019s safe to cook with turmeric while pregnant and nursing. However, they caution against turmeric supplements without first running it by a health professional.<\/p>\n<p>Other health experts recommend avoiding turmeric in <strong>large, medicinal amounts<\/strong> for the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During pregnancy<\/li>\n<li>In those who have or have a history of biliary tract obstruction<\/li>\n<li>People on blood thinners<\/li>\n<li>Those who are at a higher risk of kidney stones<\/li>\n<li>People about to have surgery (since turmeric is a blood thinner)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be sure to ask your natural healthcare professional or midwife before drinking golden milk if you have a medical condition. Talk to someone who knows your situation before making a decision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-kids-drink-turmeric-tea\">Can Kids Drink Turmeric Tea?<\/h3>\n<p>I give small amounts to my kids. Turmeric is a spice after all! They love the taste and love to help make it. But check with their healthcare practitioner if you have any questions or concerns before drinking this.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-this-stained-my-counter-blender-cup-what-do-i-do\">This Stained My Counter\/Blender\/Cup. What Do I Do?<\/h3>\n<p>I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the stains aren\u2019t harmful and will fade over time. The bad news is that it will take some time. Using a baking soda water paste to clean the stain can help.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-make-a-big-batch-and-keep-it-in-the-fridge\">Can I Make a Big Batch and Keep it in the Fridge?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure! I\u2019ve made up to half a gallon and kept it in the fridge. I find I enjoy it cold too, but you can also reheat it in a small saucepan. This <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/recipes\/iced-turmeric-lemonade\/\">turmeric lemonade <\/a>is another delicious version to have on hand<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-use-fresh-turmeric-root\">Can I Use Fresh Turmeric Root?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! It wasn\u2019t often available where I used to live, so I used dry for this recipe. To use fresh, grate a 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric root into the recipe. This accomplishes the same thing. You may also want to strain it using a fine mesh strainer to remove any remaining pulp or pieces.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use fresh ginger instead of dried in this recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you use turmeric?
