This golden milk recipe makes a cozy, soothing drink. I sampled different amounts of warm almond milk, turmeric, and ginger to achieve the perfect balance between creamy and spicy. Use your favorite milk, and sweeten with honey or maple syrup if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 piece fresh turmeric root , 1 ½ inch
- 1 piece fresh ginger root , 1/2 inch
- 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 pinch ground turmeric
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Combine turmeric root, ginger root, and honey together in a bowl, crushing the turmeric and ginger as much as possible.
-
3
Heat almond milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once small bubbles begin to form around the edges, reduce heat to low.
-
4
Transfer about 2 tablespoon milk to turmeric mixture to allow mixture to soften and honey to melt into a paste-like mixture.
-
5
Mix the turmeric paste into milk in the saucepan; raise temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously, until fully combined. Blend with an immersion blender for a smooth texture.
-
6
Pour turmeric tea into a mug and top with ground turmeric and cinnamon.

Pan-Fried Chinese Pancakes
A delicious brunch snack that can be found in many Chinese breakfast shops. Its various names include 'cong you bing,' 'jiu cai bing,', 'scallion pancakes,' 'green onion pancakes,' etc. This particular recipe is passed down through my mother's family, and brings back many good, yummy memories! Can serve with hot-sour sauce, or your favorite Chinese sauce.
Pear Upside-Down Graham Cake
I had some freshly picked pears and graham flour to use up and I combined them into this not-too-sweet, whole grain cake. The graham flour adds really nice nutty, honeyed notes, but if you can't find it, you can use whole wheat flour.
Honey-Garlic Shrimp
While it may sound like a plain, generic item you see on a menu at the food court at the mall, honey-garlic shrimp is actually one of the most exciting and delicious garlic shrimp recipes I know. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory while still packing a substantial garlic punch, plus it's extremely fast and simple to make. This recipe uses half the honey that typical recipes use and allows the natural sweetness of the shrimp to shine through. Serve over hot cooked rice or the starchy base of your choice such as noodles.
