Golden milk or golden latte original recipe, a spicy-flavored beverage that seems to offer many health benefits.
The protagonist of this recipe is turmeric which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and helps reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.
To discover the benefits and contraindications of this spice, I refer you to an in-depth article by Humanitas Hospital Research.
Turmeric has a strong flavor reminiscent of ginger, a bright yellow color like gold, which inspired the name of this milk.
My recipe includes the preparation of “turmeric paste,” a very dense batter obtained by mixing turmeric, water, and pepper.
Pepper is added to the “turmeric paste” because the piperine it contains improves the absorption of curcumin.
Anyway, without further ado, let’s prepare the Golden Milk or Golden Latte original recipe, and wow, it’s delicious!

Steps for Preparing the Golden Milk

Stir slowly.
Keep stirring until a paste consistency is achieved.
Add the pepper.
Let it cool and transfer to a tightly sealed jar.
Activate the “hot foam” function of your Aeroccino 3; if you don’t have one, you can heat the plant-based milk in a small pot.
Add half a teaspoon of turmeric and mix well.
At this point, the milk will take on the characteristic yellow color.
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Mix and optionally add a teaspoon of honey.
