Homemade Golden Milk Spice Mix
Ingredients
- 3 tbspground turmeric
- 1 ½ tbspground ginger
2 Tbsp for spicier
- 1 tbspground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tspground nutmeg
- ¼ tspground cloves
- 1 tspground black pepper
depending on how spicy you want it
- 2 cfavorite plant-based milk
see NOTE
- 4 tspmaple syrup
- 1 tbspgolden milk spice mix
- I used a combo of cashew and lite coconut milk
so it is rich and not watery. Keep in mind, that the richness will vary if you change the milks. Watery milks will make the spices taste less rich
Directions
- 1
Add all of the spices to a jar and shake vigorously until well mixed.
- 2
To make the golden milk, add 1 tablespoon of the spice mix to a small pot, with the 2 cups of milk and maple syrup. Whisk very well and turn the heat to medium-low.

Let the milk come to just forming bubbles along the edges and whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes until well heated through. DO not let it boil! The milk will look brown in the beginning but after it thoroughly heats through, all that turmeric will turn it the beautiful golden color you see in the photos.

Taste and add more sweetener if desired. Divide into 2 mugs and serve immediately! It is normal for a bit of the spices to settle at the bottom, as it is a spice mix, but I just stir it a couple of times while drinking. The spice mix will keep for 6 months, although if you make it daily, you will use it much quicker.
