Yield: 14 (1 ½ tsp paste/serving)
Ingredients: 4 Tbsp ground turmeric; 2 tsp ground ginger powder ((plus more to taste)); 2 tsp ground cinnamon ((plus more to taste)); 1 tsp ground black pepper ((plus more to taste)); 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg ((optional)); 1/8 tsp ground clove ((optional)); 1 Tbsp melted coconut oil ((fat helps increase the absorption of turmeric — if avoiding oil, reduce to 1 tsp or less and compensate with additional water)); 3-4 Tbsp maple syrup ((or other sweetener of choice // or if you’d prefer, omit and sweeten golden milk to taste upon preparation)); 1-2 Tbsp hot water; 1 ½ tsp Golden Milk Paste ((recipe above)); 1 cup dairy-free milk ((we find light canned coconut milk, cashew milk, or almond milk to work best here, our favorite being coconut milk)); More sweetener to taste ((optional))
