What is Golden Milk?
What is golden milk? Well, golden milk is not actually milk in that it has no actual dairy products in it. The basis of golden milk is a combination of turmeric (a warming spice) along with coconut milk and/or coconut oil depending on the recipe you use. Other beneficial spices are added as well as a natural sweetener if desired. Ratios and exact ingredients differ depending on the source of the recipe. I added what I had on hand that sounded good to me. Feel free to switch up your golden milk recipe based on your own preferences.
