Dairy Free Vegan Golden Milk

Total time12 min

Prep time5 min

Cook time7 min

This warm, glowing golden milk gets its color and kick from turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of black pepper, all whisked into plant-based milk until fully smooth. A gentle simmer on the stovetop coaxes out the spices' full flavor without ever boiling the mixture, so it stays silky rather than separating. Maple syrup and vanilla extract are stirred in off the heat for a rounded, cozy sweetness, with a touch of coconut oil adding a little extra richness if you want it. It comes together in under ten minutes and pours into two mugs for an easy, soothing sip any time of day. This is a naturally comforting choice for a dairy free kitchen, no fuss involved.
