How to Prepare Turmeric Paste
To prepare golden milk, start by making the turmeric paste, which will also be useful for future batches of golden milk. Pour the water into a saucepan with a pinch of black pepper and wait for it to boil.
As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat and add the turmeric powder, then continuously stir until you obtain a thick and granulated paste. Transfer this paste to a jar with a seal for storage. This quantity should be enough for approximately 30 cups of golden milk.
How to Prepare Golden Milk
Now, you can prepare golden milk by heating the plant-based milk in a saucepan until it's almost boiling. You can use any type of plant-based milk you prefer, such as rice, soy, almond, oat, or spelt milk.
Then, transfer the heated plant-based milk to a jar and add one teaspoon of the previously prepared turmeric paste. Sweeten it with one tablespoon of wildflower honey.
Seal the jar with a lid, and since the milk is still very hot, wrap a cloth around the jar to avoid burning yourself, and shake it vigorously. Your golden milk is ready to be enjoyed!
Conservation
The turmeric paste can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month, as long as it's kept in a sealed jar, preferably one with a seal. On the other hand, it's advisable to consume the prepared golden milk within a maximum of two days.
Tips
The addition of black pepper appears to increase the bioavailability of turmeric; add just a pinch if you prefer, but you can skip it if you don't like it.
