Homemade Golden Milk
Magic potions don’t exist, but Golden Milk comes close to being a real miracle drink with its beneficial effects. The special ingredient in Golden Milk is turmeric. Turmeric, also called curcuma or yellowroot, has numerous health benefits.
It is extracted from a ginger-like plant and mostly used as a powder. In the traditional Indian art of healing Ayurvedva, it is one of the “hot” spices, which are said to have a cleansing and energizing effect.
Modern medicine has also researched various effects:
- The curcumin in turmeric has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects
- It stimulates digestion and supports liver function
- It supports the bones and is said to help with joint problems
- In several studies a cancer-inhibiting effect was also observed
Golden Milk: Turmeric for drinking
Turmeric is a main ingredient of curry powder, it has a spicy and slightly bitter taste. Especially in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine, the strong yellow powder is often used. Curry for drinking sounds a bit strange, but the other ingredients in Golden Milk create a wonderful drink, its flavors range from sugary sweet to earthy-spicy. A real feel-good drink with a cleansing, warming effect.

1 tbsp turmeric powder
Approx. 100 ml water

Cinnamon or nutmeg to taste
