Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups turmeric
  • 4 tablespoons ginger powder
  • 8 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 8 teaspoons coconut powder
  • 8 teaspoons ground dried vanilla
  • 4 teaspoons cardamom
  • 2 teaspoons nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • To make spice blend: Add turmeric, ginger powder, coconut powder, vanilla powder, cardamom, nutmeg, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix with a whisk or wooden spoon until well combined.
  • To make golden milk: Add 1-2 tablespoons to your favorite milk and stir to combine. Alternatively, this golden milk mix can be used on vegetables, in soups and stews, on meats, and even in baked goods.
  • To store: Store mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place until ready to be used. Mix can be stored up to two to three years, or at the earliest expiration date for one of the individual spices used in mix.

Notes

  • Tools needed: glass mixing bowls, whisk or wooden spoon, jar(s) for storage
  • Notes: Be careful to not wear clothing that can easily be stained when making this recipe, as turmeric easily stains clothing, counter tops, and even nails and fingers.
  • Leftovers and storage: Store spice mixture in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to three years.
  • Nutrition: This spice mixture is very low in calories and overall nutrients, but does provide a small amount of fiber and iron. It is also full of antioxidants from the spices, including the anti-inflammatory curcuminoids in turmeric and gingerol in ginger powder.
  • Allergens: This recipe contains coconut powder; if you have a coconut allergy or sensitivity, simply omit it (no need to substitute with other spices, they will still contribute a lot of flavor).
