Golden Milk (or as my husband likes to call it "Milk of the Poppey")



Organic Tumeric Paste:


1/4 cup of tumeric
1/2 cup of pure water

1. Simmer tumeric and water for about 7 minutes of medium heat. watch and stir constantly. Once it is a paste, wait and let it cool and then put it in a container and place in fridge,  it should be good for up to a month.    

Golden Milk:

1 tsp of organic tumeric paste
1 cup of organic milk (I use almond)
maple syrup or raw honey (to taste)
1/8 tsp almond oil or flax seed oil

1. Boil milk on medium had tumeric paste

2. Add maple syrup and oil


This wonderful concoction is amazing for so many different things. It is incredible for reducing inflammation in the body. Specifically the joints. It is recommended to drink before bed because it helps to calm the nervous system. Golden Milk helps to promote a restful sleep. The ingredient Tumeric takes most of the credit here. Below is a quick list containing a few of many benefits from this stunning yellow gem:


  • Boosts the immune system
  • Anti cancer
  • Natural painkiller
  • Kills parasites
  • Improves digestion
