GOLDEN MILK
FL041: MIDWEST NICE
February 15, 2021
Golden milk: the spiced turmeric latte common to late 2010s/early 2020s aspirational wellness cafes. Privately we call this bulletproof golden milk because we use a blender to emulsify the coconut oil in the manner of Bulletproof Coffee, which we enjoy quite a bit but whose legal department(s) we’d prefer not to tangle with. For tax purposes, it’s a salad dressing.
Goal: a frothy warming beverage
Yield: 1
8 ounces (1 cup) milk of your choice
1 teaspoon honey, or to taste
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon Golden Spice
Bring the milk to a simmer. Pour into a blender with the honey, coconut oil, and Golden Spice. Blend on high until frothy, about 30 seconds.
If you don’t have a blender at home or are drinking this while camping, worry not: just whisk it vigorously. A camp whisk is great for this task.
