Golden Milk Recipe – A Delicious, Non-Dairy Way to Get Your Daily Turmeric & More

 

Excerpt from A HUG IN A MUG

“Golden Milk” is a beautiful, tasty, and incredibly healthy drink especially suitable for drinking in the evening, and the benefits are outstanding, as seen below.*  What's more, the benefits of curcumin are increased 1000 times when combined with black pepper, due to the piperine, the pungent property of the black pepper.

Step 1 – Turmeric Paste

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup of turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper (I grind it fresh)
• 1/2 cup of filtered water

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients in a small cooking pot and stir well. Turn the heat to a medium and mix constantly until the mixture becomes a thick paste. It does not take a long time, so do not leave the stove. Let the mixture cool off, and then keep it in a small, covered jar in the refrigerator. I usually make it every week or two. It will last at least two weeks.

Step 2 – Golden Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of almond milk (hemp milk or coconut milk are also a good option)
• 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
• 1/4 (or more) teaspoon of turmeric paste — I use about 1 teaspoon or more
• Raw honey (optional — you can also use maple syrup, date sugar, stevia; I don't use any sweetener)

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients in a cooking pot, except the honey. Turn the heat to medium. While you are heating the mixture, you must stir constantly and do not let it boil. Add honey according to your taste.

Variations:
 

Before I consume it, I usually stir in one tablespoon of E₃Live BrainOn Supreme and/or sprinkle in some RenewME!

Sometimes I'll sprinkle in some cinnamon in Step 2 and perhaps some cayenne and/or ginger powder to give it more pizzazz and nutritional heftiness.

Sometimes I will add in an organic, raw miso paste at the end to bolster the nutritional benefits even more. I always have many different kinds of miso on hand in my refrigerator. In some form or another, I have some daily.

Finally, serving it attractively, as pictured in this photo above, makes it taste even more delicious!

* Benefits of Turmeric:

The main ingredient in this recipe is turmeric. The turmeric contains curcumin, polyphenol identified as the essential active ingredient, which reaches over 150 potential therapeutic activity, and includes antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.

In combination with the black pepper, the benefits of the curcumin increase considerably.

Additional advantages:

• Anti-inflammatory activity, antioxidant, antiseptic, analgesic
• Strengthens the immune system
• Anti-carcinogen
• Helps in the maintaining of the cholesterol levels
• Improves the digestive health
• Detoxification of the liver
• Regulates the metabolism and controls the weight
• High blood pressure
• Memory and brain
• Various skin conditions
• Neurological disorders
• Reduces triglycerides
   

By adding black pepper into the dishes seasoned with turmeric, the bioavailability of curcumin is increased for about 1000 times, as mentioned above, due to the piperine, the pungent property of the black pepper. Yes, you have read it right — by mixing the turmeric and the black pepper together, the body absorption of turmeric is increased to 2000%!
