Welcome to my blog! 

If I'm being entirely honest with you, I don't actually post too often on this blog, but you know if you want to follow me go for it. When I do post though, I often post recipes or random things like life updates or whatever. It's honestly just a hobby blog, anything that I'm currently into might get posted here. I also have another blog where I review things (movies, TV shows, books, mostly books) @ Anjibooks, so if you're looking for a good book or anything, definitely go check that out. 

Recipe: Golden Milk

Let's just say I'm very apologetic for not actually writing that blog post I promised, okay? But here's a nice short and sweet one for y'all. Every year, towards the end of the winter term and the beginning of spring term, I go through a health phase where I start cooking and baking healthy recipes, and trying all new things. This golden milk recipe is my new favorites. I make a cup every evening, and it's the perfect thing to help me settle down. (Which 
Golden milk is a trend I'm quite behind on, it seems like everyone and their mother have already tried and become obsessed with it, but if you're like me and apparently living under a rock, here's a quick explanation of what it is. 
Golden milk is a milk infused with a blend of superfood spices such as turmeric, cinnamon and ginger. That means it has quite a number of health benefits, which include but are not limited to having anti-inflammatory  and joint relieving properties, being filled with antioxidants, perhaps aiding in memory and brain function and mood, protecting against heart disease, and lowering blood sugar levels and risk of cancer. If you're interested as to why that is, I may make another post, or it's pretty easy to look up, but I promised a quick post and explanation, and I'm going to try and stick by that promise. 
Just a a few more quick side notes about the recipe.  if you're wondering about the pepper, it helps to bring out the health benefits locked inside the turmeric so your body can actually absorb them. 
You can use any sort of milk in the recipe, even cow's, and heat that milk any way you wish. I use a milk frother, but I am aware not everyone has those so use whatever you prefer: microwave, stove, etc.
You can sprinkle cardamom and clove on top of the milk to add more flavor and health benefits, but I personally am not a fan of those flavors and do not use them. 
There are a ton of recipes, all differing from each other, on golden milk, but this one has been my favorite of them all because it makes a paste that you can make once and use for a long time-- that means not having to heat milk up on the stove every night = making my life and level of dishes so much easier. 
The most difficult part of the recipe is making the paste, which simply involves sitting by the stove for 5-10 minutes, whisking some spices and water so not really all that difficult. Without further adieu, here's the recipe. 

Paste: 
Ingredients: 
1/2 cup water
2 tsp turmeric (ground spice) 
1 T + 2 tsp coconut oil 
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 
1/4 tsp ginger root
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 

Recipe: 
1) Place all ingredients into saucepan. 
2) Put on medium heat and whisk until a thickened paste. 
3) Place in a container and keep in the fridge. (Will keep for a long time as none of the ingredients are particularly perishable). 

Milk: 
Ingredients: 
1 tsp paste
1 cup milk (coconut, almond, soy, hemp, etc.) 
Maple syrup or honey to taste
1/4 tsp cardamom (optional) 
1/4 tsp cloves (optional) 

Recipe; 
1) Heat milk. 
2) Stir all ingredients in a mug until well mixed. 
2b) Throw ingredients into a blender to make a frothy latte. 
3) (The hardest step of all) Enjoy! 

Thanks for reading, hope you all love this recipe as much as I do. <3
