Equipment

Cocktail shaker

Ingredients

2-3 cups milk of choice like almond, macadamia, or coconut. See Note 1
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 ½ teaspoons ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Use 2 cups milk for a sweeter, more spiced drink; use closer to 3 for a milder version.
Shake the mixture well and pour over ice into two serving glasses. Serve and enjoy!

For an Ombré Iced Golden Milk (Optional)

If you'd prefer an "ombré" look, like in my photos, first pour half of the milk over ice into two glasses. Then, proceed with the recipe: combine remaining ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well, and pour into prepared glasses.

Notes

Milk: If you use coconut milk, make sure it's from the carton. Coconut milk from the can is too thick to use exclusively in this recipe.
Make Ahead Option: To make this ahead, simply stir all ingredients together and keep in an airtight container. Shake or whisk vigorously before serving. Pour over ice and enjoy.
Turmeric: You can heat this mixture up before chilling it to better activate the anti-inflammatory ingredients in the turmeric. I recommend heating it until very warm then letting cool naturally without adding ice. Adding ice will dilute the drink.
Make it Keto/Low Carb: Simply use a low carb milk of choice (Like unsweetened almond milk) and use powdered erythritol or Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup in place of the maple syrup.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
