Description
Golden milk or turmeric milk is one of my favourite drinks during the cold season. Usually it is prepared with turmeric powder and other spices, such as cinnamon and ginger. However, I make my golden milk recipe with fresh turmeric root and ginger.

- In a small saucepan, bring water to boil, add turmeric and ginger root slices and simmer covered for 10 minutes. Strain the ginger and turmeric tea into a mug and add a dash of black pepper.
- Now, heat up soymilk, but don’t bring it to boil. Pour it into a French press or a press mug. Then pump the plunger up and down fast (along with the filters) until the milk becomes foamy. Alternatively use a milk frother, if you have one.
- Then, heat up oat milk as well and pour it into ginger turmeric tea along with the coconut milk. Also, add a pinch of sea salt, if necessary (I find it brings out the flavours).
- Finally add the frothed soymilk and some sweetener, if necessary.
