Servings: 2 cups
Equipment
- small saucepan
- blender (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp spiced ashwagandha ghee
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- pinch black pepper
- 2 c milk or milk alternative
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Melt the ghee in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the turmeric and black pepper, stir for 30 seconds as the spices sizzle and become fragrent.
- Add the milk and stir constantly until the milk is steaming hot. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup.
- Optional: you can blend the hot golden milk to emulsify the ghee and produce a frothy golden milk. To do so, pour hot golden milk into a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds (always use caution when blending hot liquids and be sure to allow the steam to escape).
- Pour into a mug and drink immediately. Stir non-blended golden milk as needed to redistribute the ghee.
