Golden milk, aka turmeric milk, has been a staple in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years.

This is a basic but tasty recipe that you can spice up with your own flavors and add to almost any meal.

They are perfect as the base for your favorite biscuits and gravy recipe, as a side dish, or enjoy them on their own with a cup of tea or coffee.
