Notes

If you're interested in making ayurveda golden milk lattes a party of your daily routine, you may want to consider buying or making turmeric paste. It's incredibly easy to make. You can make a jar in 15 minutes and store it the freezer for up to 3 months. You can find my recipe and additional ideas for using golden paste here.
If it's too bitter, tame by adding more ginger, vanilla or a natural sweetener. Turmeric bitterness is also reduced by simmering it. So, be sure to simmer for the full 10 minutes.
It can be easier to peel ginger and turmeric root using the edge of a spoon.
