A warming cup of golden milk — whole milk simmered with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper to boost curcumin absorption. Anti-inflammatory and a comforting ritual for mornings or evenings.
Values for 1 glasses
Pour milk into a small saucepan. Add turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper.
Warm over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until steaming but not boiling (about 4–5 minutes). Do not boil — it diminishes the flavour.
Stir in honey and coconut oil if using. Pour into a mug through a fine strainer if any clumping occurred. Serve immediately.
Carbs come from milk (LOW GI). If adding honey, remember to account for the extra carbs in your usual dosing method. Curcumin in turmeric has studied anti-inflammatory properties, but it does not replace your diabetes treatment. The black pepper is essential — it increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.
