GOLDEN MILK USING FRESH TURMERIC AND GINGER

​Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk, preferably coconut milk beverage or almond milk
• 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
• 1 (1-inch) piece turmeric, unpeeled, thinly sliced, or 1/2 teaspoon dried turmeric
• 1 (1/2-inch) piece ginger, unpeeled, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar, maple syrup, or honey
• 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
• 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• Ground cinnamon (for serving)

Preparation

1. Whisk coconut milk, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, honey, coconut oil, peppercorns, and 1 cup water in a small saucepan
2. Bring to a low boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have melded, about 10 minutes.
4. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs and top with a dash of cinnamon

Do Ahead​: Golden milk can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill. Warm before serving.

Cooks' Note: Using fresh turmeric adds a clean, bright flavor to this drink, but dried turmeric can be substituted when fresh is not available. Keep in mind that dried turmeric will settle to the bottom of the mug, so stir well before drinking.
