Ingredients

Golden milk base

400 mlcoconut milk
200 mlwater
15 gfresh ginger, finely grated
6 gground turmeric
10 mlvirgin coconut oil
0.5 gground black pepper
20 mlmaple syrup
1 pinchfine sea salt

To finish

0.5 gground cinnamon

Instructions

1
Measure all ingredients. Finely grate the ginger so it infuses quickly and evenly; this keeps the drink smooth and lets the recipe stay within 10 minutes.
2
In a small saucepan, whisk together the coconut milk, water, ginger, turmeric, coconut oil, black pepper, maple syrup, and salt until the turmeric is fully dispersed and no lumps remain.
3
Set the pan over medium-low heat and warm for 4 to 5 minutes, whisking often, until the mixture is steaming and hot but not boiling. Avoid a full boil, which can make the coconut milk separate and dull the fresh ginger flavor.
4
Turn off the heat and let the drink stand for 1 minute so the ginger settles slightly and the flavors meld. For a smoother texture, strain through a fine sieve; for a more rustic style, pour as is.
5
Divide between 2 mugs and dust lightly with cinnamon. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

•Black pepper is used in a small amount because it complements turmeric and gives warmth without making the drink taste peppery.
•If you prefer a sweeter drink, increase the maple syrup to 30 ml total.
•For a frothier finish, blend the hot drink carefully for 10 to 15 seconds before serving.
•Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest texture; light coconut milk will make a thinner drink.

Background

Turmeric-based hot drinks are found across South and Southeast Asia, where ginger, pepper, and coconut are long-used ingredients in both food and traditional home remedies. This Thai-style version reflects local flavors by using coconut milk for richness and a warming balance of ginger and turmeric.
