Prepare the Golden Milk and drink it without the rum for a delicious and anti-inflammatory drink before bed. Serve it chilled or hot if you like. Add the rum to create a tasty cocktail.
2 cocktails
1 can coconut milk (full fat) Thai Kitchen is my favorite
1/4 Tsp. ground turmeric
1 pinch of black pepper (helps for your body to absorb the turmeric)
1/2 Tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbsp honey
pinch of salt
4 oz. of spiced or dark rum
ice cubes
Cinnamon for garnish
- Combine coconut milk, turmeric, black pepper, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan and gently heat until coconut milk and honey have melted and the milk has turned bright yellow. Take off of the heat, strain through a fine mesh strainer, and cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Add rum to a cocktail shaker and then pour turmeric milk in along with 5-6 ice cubes and shake until thoroughly chilled.
- Pour over crushed ice and sprinkle with cinnamon.
