Golden Spice Mix (for Golden Milk and Lattes)
This golden spice mix is the blend I always have in my pantry for making golden milk, golden lattes and turmeric smoothies. It is made with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves and cardamom. You mix everything together in 5 minutes and store it in a jar for months. Use it in warm milk, coffee, oatmeal, smoothies or even rice for a boost of flavor and anti inflammatory benefits.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Measure all the spices. Add the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, cloves and cardamom to a small bowl.
- Mix well. Stir until everything is evenly combined. You should see a golden color with specks of the darker spices.
- Transfer to a jar. Store in a small airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place.
Notes
Double or triple the recipe so you always have some ready. It stores perfectly for up to 3 months.
Use ½ to 1 teaspoon per serving depending on how strong you like it.
Do not skip the black pepper. It helps your body absorb curcumin up to 2000 times better.
Use ground spices (not whole) so everything blends evenly.
Be careful with turmeric. It stains countertops, cloths and fingers yellow.
