Discover the magic of blending spices to make golden milk: an ancient drink with incredible health benefits. This spice blend is perfect for golden milk, golden coffee, or golden milkshake.
What is golden milk?
Golden milk is a traditional drink that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its numerous healing properties.
This delicious drink combines milk with a unique blend of spices, mainly turmeric, which gives it its characteristic golden color and powerful health benefits.
Ingredients to make the golden spice mix
Turmeric. Turmeric is a spice grown in South Asia, which is widely used in gastronomy and traditional medicine. Its active ingredient, curcumin, is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that helps prevent and treat chronic diseases.
Turmeric is the main and most important ingredient in golden milk, as it gives it its golden color and provides most of its health benefits.
Black pepper. Curcumin is very important for the body, but it is not well absorbed in the body. Black pepper helps our body to take full advantage of the curcumin in turmeric. Piperine can increase the effect of curcumin by up to 2000%.
Ginger. Ginger helps regulate bloating, gas, and stomach upset. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation, complementing the effects of turmeric in golden milk.
Ginger adds a spicy and refreshing touch to the golden milk, which enhances the flavor of the beverage and creates a complex and delicious flavor profile. Ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and other ingredients create a harmony of flavors that make golden milk a unique and comforting drink.
Cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom powder. Like the other spices, they also have many properties, and they also have sweet flavor notes.
