Golden milk is easy to make at home. It contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds and offers innumerable health benefits. Turmeric milk is believed to have calming properties, and likely to reduce inflammation and soothe the nervous system.

• 1 tsp of turmeric
• 1 small piece of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp of ginger powder
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
• 1 pinch of ground black pepper
• 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup (optional)

Directions:

• To make the golden milk, simply mix all ingredients in a small pot and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until fragrance releases and becomes flavorful.
• Strain the drink through a fine strainer into a mug and garnish it with a pinch of cinnamon.
• Make a fresh drink every time you want to drink for effective benefits.
