Mango Golden Milk
The ritual of making this milk and letting the spices steep on the stovetop while the scents loft through your home is remedy enough for us. The mango adds just the perfect amount of extra sweetness that the piquant bite of the ginger and black pepper need.
Ingredients
2 cups choice of milk, coconut, almond, rice, cashew, regular
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper corns
3-5 cardamom pods, de husked seeds cracked
1 piece of fresh turmeric, about an inch long, grated
1 piece of fresh ginger, about an inch long, grated
1-2 mango pits with flesh
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon raw honey
tiny pinch of salt
2 tablespoons mango puree
Method
Whisk the milk, cinnamon, black pepper, cardamom, turmeric and ginger together in a large saucepan. Add the mango pits and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while the ingredients meld together, about 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Mix in the coconut oil, honey and mango puree and serve immediately while still hot. Alternatively you can allow the mixture to cool completely and serve it over ice.
You can store the golden milk in the refrigerator for about a week total, simply warm it up before serving. If you are going to store it in the refrigerator and drink it cold, it’s better to omit the coconut oil all together.
For a caffeinated version, toss in some black tea to your saucepan while steeping the ingredients on the stove top!
