Golden Milk: Turmeric and Ginger Tea with Coconut Milk
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
1 1-inch knob fresh turmeric
1 1/2-inch knob fresh ginger
4 black peppercorns
2 teaspoons ghee*
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 cup coconut water
1 tablespoon raw honey
pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS
Dice your ginger and turmeric into small pieces and pulverize them in a mortar with the peppercorns; alternatively you can grate them or dice them into tiny pieces and smash the pepper with the back of your knife.
Pour the coconut milk, coconut water and ghee into a saucepan, add in your turmeric paste and salt; set over a medium-high burner just until little bubbles just begin to creep up the sides of the pot. Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan and allow your tea to steep about 3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer or tea strainer into your cup. Stir in the honey and enjoy warm.
Notes
Golden Milk is traditionally made with cow's milk. If you wish to omit the coconut milk and coconut water, simply substitute 2 cups whole milk.
If you cannot find fresh turmeric, substitute 2 teaspoons organic powdered turmeric.
