I need to admit something — I’m not big on following trends. I’m not even ON Tik Tok. But Food trends? Food trends are my jam. So when Golden Milk went Tik Tok Famous, I decided to hop on board an perfect this for myself. I tried a few different methods and this Golden Milk Recipe is TikTok Famous for a reason!

What is golden milk?
Golden milk is a traditional Indian drink made with warmed milk, turmeric, and other spices. It’s been said to help reduce inflammation, but also has other health benefits like boosting your immune system and helping to improve your mood!

Regardless of health benefits, this golden milk recipe is delicious. It reminds me of my favorite warm-milk teas. It’s smoothe, delicious, and spiced to perfection. You’ll find it to be the perfect combination of cozy, creamy, nutty, and rich.
What you’ll need
Even a novice cook will have almost all of these ingredients in the house. If you actually do not have turmeric, don’t fret. It can be found in any grocer’s spice aisle. We buy our turmeric from a small, local, middle eastern store; but you can truly find it anywhere. I also suggest using either almond milk or coconut milk in addition to the whole milk that the recipe calls for. It adds an extra layer of flavor.

And remember those cheesecloths you needed for my Instant Pot Dairy Free Yogurt Recipe? You’re going to need those for this recipe, too!

PIN FOR LATER

I need to start drinking golden milk. I love the power of turmeric for my joints.
I have never heard about this golden milk craze so I have not tried it just yet. I must confess that I am not someone who likes drinking milk shakes or any milk drink but I am willing to give it a try.
I have never tried GOlden Milk but keep seeing it and hearing it has amazing benefits. I think I will be trying this soon for sure!
Ah, have been literally drinking this since childhood. In India, it is very common to have this milk for overall health and especially when being sick or ill or in pain. Turmeric is said to be a great healing agent.
I’m curious now. I haven’t heard of golden milk before but I might have to give it a taste to see if I like it.
Everytime I had fever or cold since childhood, I had been drinking it. golden milk or we call it tumeric milk is something very common for all of us here. I am really glad that it is now getting spread worldwide!
