Creamy Golden Milk Lemonade Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups filtered water
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (one lemon)
- ½ cup coconut milk
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional:
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cloves
- Pinch of ground cardamon
DIRECTIONS:
- Combine the coconut milk, turmeric, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, maple syrup, and ginger in a small bowl. You can either add in the optional spices to add depth of flavor or simply omit.
- Add some ice to a glass pitcher. Pour in the golden milk mixture over the ice. Fill the pitcher with the filtered water. Stir. Chill and enjoy.
RECIPE NOTES:
- If you are not used to the taste of turmeric, start out with ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric.
- Adjust the sweetener based on taste preference. Some individuals prefer a sweeter lemonade, so add more honey or maple syrup to your desired liking.
- Be sure to stir again after chilling it. The coconut milk and water tend to separate after sitting for awhile.
- Feel free to strain the fresh ginger out before serving. I prefer to leave it in because of the added benefits that ginger provides the body.
