The next time you’re dealing with digestion issues, DOMS, or cold symptoms, mix up this twist on almond milk that’s made from ingredients you already have in your pantry! The stars of this recipe are ginger and turmeric — two spices with a list of healthy benefits.
Ginger has antimicrobial properties that can stop viruses (like common respiratory infections) before they wreak havoc on your immune system, and it is also a well-known remedy for nausea and digestive issues. Curcumin, the active ingredient in the spice turmeric, is a natural anti-inflammatory that has been shown to ease muscle soreness after a tough workout, stop a headache in its tracks, support weight-loss goals, and improve your digestion. Seriously, is there anything this spiced drink can’t remedy?
Notes
If you’d prefer to enjoy your turmeric milk warm (the traditional Ayurvedic way), feel free to warm yours in the microwave or on the stove top.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon sweetener of your choice (I used honey)
Directions
- Combine all the ingredients in a mason jar. Screw the jar’s lid on tight, and shake well for about 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour the shaken mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a measuring cup or bowl. Then pour the strained almond milk back into a cup or mug to enjoy immediately.
