Add 1.5 inch turmeric root. Best if using fresh root and thinly sliced or minced (or you can use 1 teaspoon turmeric powder)
Add 1 inch ginger root thinly sliced or diced Much better if fresh, but you could use 1 tsp ginger powder.
Add Pinch black pepper. Stir well, especially if you are using the powdered spices. Let the milk begin to simmer. Small bubbles will form on the sides of the saucepan. Ensure you stir constantly!
Heat for another minute or two, being careful not to let the milk catch on the bottom or it may burn. Continue to stir at this point to get better heat distribution and so that the milk does not burn.
Turn off the heat, cover and allow the golden milk mixture to infuse for ten minutes.
If you have used the fresh ingredients strain the golden milk through a sieve to remove the solids. Add honey to taste. Serve your golden milk warm.
