Measure 1 cup of your chosen milk into a small saucepan over medium heat.

Once the milk begins to warm, add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper directly to the milk.

Whisk continuously for about 30 seconds to break up any turmeric clumps.

Add 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil or ghee to the warming milk and spice mixture.

Continue heating the milk over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges and steam rises gently from the surface, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup.

Stir in a tiny pinch of sea salt.

For a completely smooth drink, pour the golden milk through a fine mesh strainer into your mug.

Pour your strained or unstrained golden milk into a mug and serve immediately.
