Golden Milk Paste (with bonus Golden Milk Latte recipe)
The recipe you need to make the most nutrient dense turmeric paste so you can make the most delicious golden milk lattes with easeIngredients:
- 1/4 cup dried Turmeric OR 100-150gm fresh turmeric
- 1 tablespoon dried Ginger OR 3 inch piece of fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- pinch of Salt, more if using fresh turmeric
Instructions:
- If using dried turmeric or ginger: Measure all ingredients and add to a small pot. Stir well to incorporate- go to step #3.
- If using fresh turmeric & fresh ginger, use a spoon to peel the skin then chop into 1″ pieces. Add to a blender with other ingredients and blend until smooth, then add to a small pot.
- With all ingredients in a pot, heat over medium low, stirring frequently. We don’t want this to boil, just simmer gently. The dried turmeric version will be quick to thicken- and can possibly burn, stir often.
- Simmer for 3-5 minutes, until combined and has slightly thickened to a paste. Turmeric paste will thicken substantially as it cools and is placed in the fridge.
- Note: Turmeric paste using fresh turmeric & ginger will need to simmer longer, perhaps 7-10 minutes. Stir often and don’t let burn or boil!
- Let cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
Golden Milk Latte Recipe
To make golden milk with this turmeric paste, simply whisk 2-3 teaspoons of turmeric paste into 1/2 cup of milk in a pot until heated through.
**Pro tip: Freeze the paste into portions so you can easily just pop this into a small saucepan or jug of milk to heat with when you're ready.
Notes:
**Turmeric paste using fresh turmeric/ginger will need more salt than dried turmeric paste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
**Dried turmeric paste is more concentrated; the flavor is stronger and more potent in dried turmeric paste.
** I used a bullet blender to make fresh turmeric paste- as many regular size blenders require high volume of ingredients to smoothly blend, you may need to double this recipe if using a full size blender- or add more water then simmer longer for it to thicken appropriately!
