Lactose Free Vegan Maple Golden Milk

This warmly spiced golden milk comes together in one small saucepan, with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper whisked right into the plant-based milk before it's gently warmed through. A touch of maple syrup and vanilla extract stirred in at the end rounds out the flavor with cozy sweetness, while a bit of coconut oil adds a silky, rich finish if you want it. There's no dairy anywhere in this ingredient list to begin with, so it's naturally an easy, comforting fit for a lactose free routine. The gentle simmering step keeps the spices from clumping and gives the drink its signature smooth, golden color and glossy texture. Ready in minutes and poured straight into mugs, it's the kind of soothing sip you'll want on repeat all season long.
