One of world's most magnificent drinks from India is called Golden Milk. And for a good reason as it is gold colored from the turmeric, full of taste, warm and can be a vegan milky option. Maybe the best know Ayurvedic recipe. Cacao gives it an even deeper, healthy and happier effect.
This golden kakaw milk combines cacao's mood-enhancing properties with turmeric's anti-inflammatory benefits. The black pepper helps your body absorb the curcumin in turmeric, while cacao opens your heart and supports meditation and focus.
Ingredients
- 15gr pure cacao
- 150ml plant-based milk (oat, almond, or coconut)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of black pepper (activates turmeric)
- Cardamom, ginger, or honey to taste
Instructions
- Dissolve 15gr cacao paste in about 50ml hot water. Just enough to melt it well.
- Mix in the golden spice mix. Whisk in the turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper and cardamom.
- Pour 150ml foamed plant-based milk over the cacao. You can use oat, rice, coconut, almond, hazelnut, any milk you like. Note that some foam better then other.
Optionally you can add some honey to sweeten to taste. Also there is the option to strain a tea of all the fresh spices (turmeric, ginger, pepper, etc) and use this is as the base to dissolve the cacao in. Use a bit more tea/water in this case or make it very strong.
⤖Sip with a smile and make a compliment to the next person you meet ☺.
