Notes
  • Use almond, oat, cashew, soy, or dairy milk instead of coconut milk if preferred.
  • For a lighter drink, choose unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk.
  • Add only a small pinch of black pepper so it doesn't overpower the other spices.
  • For extra warmth, add a small pinch of cloves or cardamom.
  • Leave out the cinnamon if you prefer a Golden Milk Recipe without cinnamon.
  • For an iced golden milk latte, chill the prepared drink completely before pouring it over ice.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir or shake well before reheating.
