What makes Golden Milk so special?

Golden milk is special because it combines enjoyment, tradition, and well-being in one ritual. This bright yellow spiced drink originates from Ayurvedic cuisine and has been valued for over 4,000 years. Traditionally, turmeric was used to alleviate numerous ailments and is still considered a valuable spice for body and mind.


Why Golden Milk is so popular:


  • A soothing ritual for conscious rest breaks
  • Warm & spicy – ​​creates a calming body sensation
  • Utilize the positive properties of turmeric
  • Easy preparation with few ingredients
  • Fits perfectly into mindfulness and self-care routines.

Recipe: Golden Milk with fermented turmeric (vegan)

Ingredients (for 1 serving):


  • 1 cup or 250 ml of plant-based drink (oat, almond or coconut milk)
  • 1 tsp Acurmin ferment (organic turmeric powder)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tsp agave or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tsp peanut butter
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Step-by-step instructions: How to make the perfect Golden Milk

Step 1:
Pour the plant-based milk into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat. The milk should be warm, but not boiling (approximately 60-70°C). If it gets too hot, some nutrients will lose their potency.
Step 2:
Add the turmeric powder to the warm milk and stir vigorously until completely dissolved. Fermented turmeric dissolves particularly well and leaves no lumps.
Step 3:
Now add cinnamon and black pepper. Stir everything well. The black pepper is important – without it, your body can hardly absorb the curcumin from the turmeric.
Step 4:
Stir in the peanut butter and your sweetener. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds until the peanut butter is completely incorporated into the milk and the consistency is nice and creamy.
Step 5:
For an even more intense flavor, you can now add vanilla extract.
Step 6:
Pour the finished Golden Milk into your favorite mug and garnish it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired. It's best enjoyed immediately while it's still warm.

Tips for the perfect Golden Milk

  • Too thin? Add a little more peanut butter or reduce the amount of milk.
  • Too thick? Thin it with a little more milk or warm water.
  • Lumps? Use a small whisk or milk frother for a silky-smooth consistency.
  • Too spicy? Reduce the amount of turmeric or add more sweetener.

Why use fermented turmeric?

Regular turmeric powder is only absorbed to a very small extent by your body because it is poorly soluble. Over 90% of the valuable curcumin is excreted unused. This means: You drink Golden Milk, but your body hardly benefits from it.


The solution: fermentation

This makes turmeric more easily accessible and significantly better utilized by your body. Specifically, this means:


  • Up to 40 times better absorption – your body can finally use the curcumin.
  • No more lumps – dissolves effortlessly in liquids.
  • Gentle on the stomach – particularly well tolerated, even by sensitive stomachs
  • Milder taste – less bitter and spicy, more pleasant in taste

The result: You're not just drinking a delicious beverage, but your body can actually absorb and utilize the valuable nutrients. That's exactly how Golden Milk should be.

My recommendation

After a long search, I discovered the perfect turmeric powder! Thanks to fermentation, with Acurmin ferment you not only enjoy a creamy drink, but also benefit from the increased bioavailability of the valuable nutrients.

Conclusion

Golden milk with peanut butter is more than just a trend. It's a simple, delicious ritual that's good for your body and only takes 5 minutes of your time. The combination of creamy peanut butter, warming spices, and fermented turmeric makes this recipe truly special.
