Golden

milk

By Jasmine

Hemsley

INGREDIENTS

250ml milk of choice

• 120ml (if using cow’s
  milk) or 60ml (if using
  any other) water


• ½ tsp ground
  cinnamon • ½ tsp
  ground turmeric •
  2-3 cardamom pods


• pinch of ground
  nutmeg • 1 tsp grated
  fresh ginger (optional)


• 1 date, chopped
  (optional) • a grind
  of black pepper •
  1 tsp organic ghee
  (optional)

METHOD

1 | Add the milk, water,

spices and chopped

date, if using, to a

saucepan. Season

with black pepper

and whisk well.

2 | Bring to the boil,

then reduce to a

simmer for 10 mins,

being careful not to let

it burn or bubble over.

While we all know spilt

milk isn’t worth crying

over, a crusty hob is

no one’s friend. Add

ghee, if using, then

remove from the heat.

Allow to cool slightly,

then strain and serve

in your fave mug.
