Recipe by Chef Jasjit Kaur (Kitchen Punjabi)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of an unsweetened milk of your choice
- 1 tsp of turmeric
- 1 small piece of grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp of ginger powder (optional)
- 1-2 green cardamoms crushed
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon powder
- 1 pinch of ground black pepper
- One pinch nutmeg
- 1 tsp of honey or 1 date (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 2 minutes or until fragrant and flavorful. Strain the drink through a fine strainer into cups and top with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Golden milk can also be made in advance and stored in your refrigerator for up to two days. It will get a stronger turmeric taste. Simply bring to boil again before drinking.
