How to cook deliciously - Coconut Golden Milk

1. Stage

Heat the coconut milk: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut milk until you see a little bit of steam, about 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Stage

Add the spices: Add the ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper, and gently whisk to combine. Add the vanilla extract, and whisk to combine. Take the milk off the heat, allow it to cool slightly, and add the maple syrup. Taste the milk using a spoon, and adjust as needed. Does it need more spice? Add some ginger. Is it not sweet enough to your liking? Add a little more maple syrup. Do the flavors seem like they aren’t speaking loudly enough to you overall? Add another pinch of salt.

3. Stage

Simmer: Let the golden milk come to a bare simmer—you might see some bubbles on the sides of the pot, you might see some frothy action on the surface—and then turn off the heat. This step helps reintegrate the flavors after you’ve added the maple syrup and made any adjustments with spices. It also ensures you’ve got a hot beverage, not a lukewarm one.

4. Stage

Strain and serve: Strain off any lingering fibrous bits of ginger through a fine mesh sieve. Pour it into your favorite mug, sprinkle it with a bit more of ground turmeric and/or cinnamon, and get cozy on the couch with a blanket and your mug. Did you love the recipe?
