I leave you with the recipe, which you will have ready in 3 minutes. Below, I also leave you some notes, tricks and ideas to help you get the most out of it.

Ingredients

Preparation

1. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the heat at medium power.
2. When bubbles begin to be observed, lower to a minimum and do not stop stirring.
3. Leave a couple of minutes on the fire, without boiling (it does not matter that the almond milk burns). After that time, remove from the heat and pour into a cup, passing it through a strainer (to remove the remains of ginger).
4. You can sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.

Grades

• You can make golden milk with other types of vegetable milk (rice, coconut, walnut...), or even with cow's or sheep's milk. Personally, I think that oat milk and almond milk go perfectly with the flavor of those spices and they are milks that I like hot, but try your favorites.
• Test the sweetness point and add a little more syrup or honey if you prefer it sweeter (for me that proportion is super adequate but adapt it to your preferences, or if you have used non-dairy milk that already has some sweetener).
• Remember that you can freeze ginger root! Store it wrapped in film or in a jar in the freezer, and take it out when you are going to use it. You can cut what you need and refreeze it at the moment the rest. This way it does not spoil, it maintains its properties and you can use fresh ginger instead of ginger powder on a regular basis and without having to think about buying it every time you need it.
• Optionally, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Pepper helps absorb nutrients from food, so you will get even more benefit from the properties of turmeric and ginger, fixing them better in your body.
