The Golden Milk Recipe is one of our favorites to calm both the mind and the stomach. It's a soothing warm tea ideal for the winter months.


The rhizome (root) of turmeric has been used for ages in the east (Asia/India) as traditional medicine to help with gastrointestinal upset, arthritic pain, and "low energy". Laboratory and animal research has demonstrated anti-inflammatory as well as other beneficial properties of turmeric (and its constituent curcumin).


1/8 teaspoon Turmeric
1/4 cup water
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons almond oil (organic oils are always best)
honey or your favorite sweetener to taste!



Step 1: Boil 1/8 teaspoon Turmeric in about 1/4 cup water for 7-10 minutes – until it forms a thick paste, adding water as needed.

Step 2: While this mixture is boiling, bring 1 cup milk and 2 tablespoons almond oil (organic oils are always best) up to a gentle boil.

Step 3: Immediately when it begins to boil (do not scorch the milk!) take it off the stove and combine it with the Turmeric mixture.

Step 4: Add honey or your favorite sweetener to taste!
