Golden Milk Turmeric Tea, made with turmeric, is a powerful anti-inflammatory drink that may ease depression symptoms, build heart health, relieve arthritis symptoms, and more!
I love the way blogging connects me to so many people everywhere. Last year, when I blogged about the finger pain I was experiencing, My Great Aunt Janey sent me an email telling me about a Golden Milk recipe. I see my Great Aunt Janey once every few years, so there’s no way she would have known about my finger pain without this blog.
Now I know my Great Uncle Carl (who I’ve always looked up to for his healthful ways) drinks Golden Milk as a way to fight inflammation and naturally soothe arthritis pain. The power of the blog. I’ve since started using turmeric in my cooking more, like in this recipe for Cauliflower Soup with Turmeric.
Now it’s time for me to pass on what I learned from my Great Aunt Janey.
Health Benefits of Turmeric Tea
Golden Milk, also sometimes called Turmeric Tea, is a warm beverage filled with health benefits. The star of the show is turmeric. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory effects (source).
Inflammation is linked to numerous health conditions and diseases, so everyone should be diligent to keep it at bay in their bodies.
Turmeric also has antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and antimutagenic properties. (source) This superstar may also ease symptoms of depression naturally, relieve arthritis pain, and build your heart health (source). With all those health benefits, you would be crazy not to give this a try!
I find I crave a warm drink in the afternoon, so Golden Milk has been a perfect healthful beverage to satisfy that craving while delivering powerful health benefits. 
How do you make Turmeric Tea?
To make Golden Milk Turmeric Tea, first you need to have turmeric paste on hand. This takes five minutes to make and then you can have it on hand in the refrigerator. It will last about two weeks refrigerated. Turmeric powder is mixed with water and black pepper to make a paste. The black pepper is important as it increased the absorption of the turmeric. It won’t do us any good if our bodies can’t absorb it, right?
The Golden Milk Turmeric Tea recipe is also super easy to whip up. I add a little sweetener (either raw honey or stevia) and some ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. The taste? AMAZING. I love this stuff. Trust me, it doesn’t taste like you are drinking a stir-fry. (That’s what I think of when I think of turmeric.)
I also add coconut oil to my Golden Milk because the fat also helps with absorption. It also adds another set of health benefits, which you can read about here.
How often should you drink turmeric tea?
Ideally, drink Golden Milk Turmeric Tea everyday. I hope you’ll add this turmeric tea recipe to your daily routine. I would also love it if you’d share it with someone in your life who might need it. Here’s to our health!

Alina says
November 4, 2015 at 4:16 pmI make Golden Milk with turmeric powder and without black pepper. Is your milk spicy?
Coconut milk has a lot of fat that helps the absorption of turmeric, but I guess one can never have enough healthy fats, right :)?
Maryea says
November 4, 2015 at 8:52 pmNo, not spicy at all. Maybe a tiny bite from the pepper, but not really noticeable. I’ve read that the pepper increases the absorption the most, so that’s why I include it.
Alina says
November 5, 2015 at 11:24 amThank you, Maryea. I will play a bit with the amount of black pepper until I get a good ratio. I don’t like foods or drinks too spicy, but a bit of heat it’s okay.
Alaina Broome says
May 8, 2018 at 11:02 amIf you don’t like the pepper, add a little coconut oil. That will also allow you to absorb the good properties of the turmeric.
ACC says
October 14, 2016 at 2:38 pmTurmeric can only be absorbed with pepper or a oil. So if you use an oil, you should be fine
Sunny says
July 11, 2017 at 8:13 amYou need the pepper to help with absorbing the tumeric
Grenache Love says
December 31, 2017 at 4:14 pmYou need the black pepper to create the anti-inflammatory properties combined with turmeric!
Maryea says
January 1, 2018 at 10:26 amYes, I use black pepper in the turmeric paste. 🙂
Senika @ Foodie Blog Stalker says
November 4, 2015 at 5:27 pmSuch great info here! I’m currently not experiencing any pain but I still want to try this out and share it with others, thanks!

December 21, 2016 at 9:23 amI believe so, but it’s always best to double check with your doctor.

Ellen says
November 7, 2015 at 8:58 amI’ve been following your blog for over a year but this is my first post. Thank you for all of the recipes, perspectives, and ideas you put forth in this blog. Our family has benefited from your willingness to share your family’s journey.
This tea is great and very timely. 🙂 I just wanted to add that to save time first thing in the morning (I am experimenting with subbing this for my morning coffee), I combined all of the ingredients (except the turmeric paste and almond milk) together in a small canning jar. I warmed the raw honey and coconut oil first to often it so it blended well with the other ingredients. Now in the morning, I heat up my almond milk up and drop in a tablespoon of the other ingredients and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric paste whisk well and I am set to go. Anything that saves an extra step at 6 am is good news to me.
Again, thanks for everything!
Maryea says
November 7, 2015 at 9:06 amThat’s a great idea! And I’m impressed that you are subbing this for your morning coffee. I really should do the same. 🙂
Chaitanya says
January 7, 2016 at 4:36 amHi, just to give you some insight on Turmeric Milk. This has been found in Ayurvedic Medicine, which is a branch of medicine founded in India, more than 5-10 thousand years ago. In Ayurvedic Medicine, it is recommended that one should drink this milk for medicinal purpose only, not as a snack.
Since Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral also used in Indian cooking you can have Turmeric as part of your daily food intake, other than milk.
I hope this helps.
Maryea says
January 8, 2016 at 10:03 amDo you know why? If I’m not getting it in my daily diet, wouldn’t it be beneficial to drink this daily?
Dorothy says
March 2, 2016 at 11:07 amCan you make up the drink and refrigerate for later ?
Maryea says
March 2, 2016 at 9:01 pmI don’t see why not.
Jackie Reeland says
September 4, 2016 at 12:28 amCan you ginger paste in the tube or does it have to be ground ginger ? Just asking because I thought I had all the ingredients ,but left out ground ginger.
Maryea says
September 5, 2016 at 9:49 amYou can use fresh ginger also. Use about 1/2 teaspoon minced.
Amanda Materi says
October 25, 2016 at 1:39 pmThanks for this! Exactly what I was thinking I’d do too, makes it so much easier and I’m more likely to make it when I’m pressed for time.

B. Ward says
May 10, 2018 at 1:53 pmI like the idea of having all but the honey and milk of choice pretty mixed as it would make my putting it all together much faster as well. I just need to measure it all out.
Also I was pleasantly surprised when nature slave says mentione the instant honeyed ginger drink as I have this every morning instead of coffee. I will be trying this together tomorrow.
I wanted to ask how often the golden milk can be drank in a day?
Thank you for sharing this recipe and I looklook forward to reading more of you blog.
Jaylyne says
January 11, 2016 at 6:10 amI’m a little late to this party, but is there a reason you couldn’t mix all of the ingredients except for the milk and store it?
Maryea says
March 10, 2016 at 5:52 amSorry I missed your comment on this! I can’t think of a reason why you couldn’t do that. That’s actually a really good idea. I’m going to give it a try and I’ll let you know how it goes.
Bev says
July 23, 2017 at 4:32 pmThis is how I have been making and storing it. I use coconut oil in the mixture too, and store for about 3 weeks. Thereafter it gets dark and somewhat bitter. I have it in hot milk before bed. But please advise that no more than a half teaspoon should be used daily as it can have the effect of upsetting tummies

Jucara says
October 22, 2017 at 9:52 pmI do mix all the ingredients when doing the paste then just add milk . Delicious thanks for the recipe. However I did substitute black pepper to cayenne pepper because I have circulatory problem and it has been a blessing, thanks

Debi says
January 12, 2016 at 3:24 pmIt’s delicious!
Jeanette says
January 12, 2016 at 9:15 pmThis is an amazing drink. If anyone knows, it may be me but, is there a reason why heart rate rises when drinking this? Has anyone noticed/felt the same way?
Maryea says
March 10, 2016 at 5:53 amI have not noticed that at all. Interesting. Sorry I can’t give you any insight.
Sheila A says
January 19, 2016 at 2:40 amI’ve been experiencing arthritis in my hands and this seems to be very promising. I will attempt to make this, but I was wondering how soon after did the arthritis/pain subside?
Maryea says
January 19, 2016 at 6:36 amI think that will vary person to person. For me it’s been in conjunction with other diet changes (eating less sugar, less gluten, and more anti-inflammatory foods) that I noticed a difference and I noticed it within a week. If you’re only drinking this, however, you might not notice it as quickly or as drastically.
Anna says
March 12, 2018 at 8:07 pmThis is true, if you are experiencing arthritis, RA, or joint pain then getting of glutens, sugar and dairy from your diet is really going to make the difference and this drink is the icing on the cake. Try that for a week and see how you feel, what have you got to lose?
Lisa says
January 20, 2016 at 1:50 pmCan you make the paste with fresh Turmeric instead of powder foam?
Maryea says
January 23, 2016 at 4:17 pmThat’s a great question! I”m sorry but I’m not sure since I haven’t tried it.
P says
February 11, 2016 at 1:08 amTruthfully what does this taste like? Bitter, sweet, bittersweet? I am very much a sissy when it comes to taste and/or texture..don’t want to spend the $$ for the ingredients just to try this once and end up be grossed out.
Maryea says
February 11, 2016 at 9:22 amIt’s sweet with a little bit of a bite from the spices. I think it’s delicious!
Megan says

Meldra Driscoll says
November 26, 2016 at 10:45 amI was also afraid to try this since I’m quite closed to trying new foods, and have never experimented with herbs and spices. I’m happy to say that this is my favorite hot drink ever!!! It tastes a lot like pumpkin pie or chai latte. I started by buying a chai tea keurig box. I loved it so much that I just graduated to trying the golden milk. Very yummy and not too spicy. Hope this helps!
Maryea says
November 28, 2016 at 6:24 amThanks for your feedback! I’m glad you love this. 🙂
Ronda Morris says
February 13, 2016 at 1:03 pmJust now made and it’s delicious, and to me, its not spicy at all. I do suffer from arthritis & joint pain was just wondering how often should you drink it? I’m also going to turn my on to this b/c she has RA and I hope this will her deal with the pain. Thank you much for posting your recipe.

Bridget says
February 25, 2016 at 12:13 amTks for recipe. So, do i make paste first then add other ingredients?
Maryea says
February 26, 2016 at 4:25 pmYes, you make the paste first. The recipe will make more paste than what you need for one recipe, so you can keep it in the fridge and don’t have to make the paste each time. 🙂
Val says
March 2, 2016 at 4:36 pmYes you can put little dollops of the paste on a parchment lined cookie sheet and freeze then pour the frozen bits in a container in the freezer. Take one or two daily. Fantastic health benefits even for our pets!! Google it.
Maryea says
March 2, 2016 at 8:59 pmWow great idea!
Suzy says
March 9, 2016 at 2:36 pmyou can also make little turmeric “bites” by mixing turmeric, black pepper, and honey or coconut oil and baking them. i also had a question about this recipe though. somebody else asked but i think it got overlooked in the comment stream. is there a reason you can’t mix the spices, oil, and honey into the paste and keep that in the fridge?
Maryea says
March 10, 2016 at 5:50 amThat’s a good question. I can’t think of why you couldn’t. I guess I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll have to try it! When I do, I’ll let you know how it goes.

March 16, 2016 at 11:20 amCurious about the water ratio on the paste. Mine came out quite runny. Then I doubled the turmeric and its super thick :/
Maryea says
March 16, 2016 at 5:25 pmIt’s thick enough that it holds together (it’s not totally liquid-y) but loose enough that you can stir it. Does that help?

May 25, 2016 at 11:01 amI’m reading this recipe as I’m eating “turmeric eggs” that my husband came up with and we eat regularly (Today it’s our own free-range eggs, soft boiled over avocado toast with turmeric and black pepper sprinkled liberally).

Linda Handy says
July 23, 2016 at 5:00 pmI just made the paste for the first time adding nutmeg and cinnamon and pepper. I then heated a teaspoon of paste with coconut/almond milk, put in a packet of ginger Honey tea granules (found in Chinatown grocery stores) a dollop of coconut oil and a bit of cinnamon. It was amazing!

February 9, 2017 at 8:25 amRushed for time this morning, I made a Mango, Rockmelon, Blueberry and Pineapple smoothie, and added Turmeric, Pepper, Honey and fresh Ginger, with Coconut Milk and water as the liquid. It was delish! (I can’t stomach hot milk,and find hot Coconut Milk, way to rich for me), so this smoothie was ideal. Tonight I made the paste you have on your other page, …. Turmeric, water, pepper, honey, cinnamon and ginger. I popped the paste into very small ice cube tray and froze them. Each cube is two serves, so perfect for my husband and I to pop into smoothies for breakfast. Thank you for the paste idea…. it sure will save time 🙂

April 8, 2017 at 10:55 amHi there. I just made the turmeric paste for the first time and my mixture is very soupy. It doesn’t look like a paste at all. Will this thicken in the fridge?
Maryea says
April 9, 2017 at 8:09 amIt thickens as you heat and stir it. Maybe you didn’t do that long enough? Mine is a paste before I put it in the fridge.
Lorraine says
March 14, 2018 at 3:27 pmI just made the paste and it’s very thick so is it better to add water or a bit of coconut/olive oil to thin it out? Also, I’m concerned over the turmeric staining my teeth – has anyone had problems with this? Thanks
Faith Wagner says
April 23, 2017 at 3:45 pmI just made this paste and then the smoothie with the paste on it and it’s DELICIOUS!! I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and two other autoimmune inflammatory diseases and I’m trying to be as holistic as I can. I do take infusions monthly which I hate but if it helps me to live a quality life, I’ll do what I just. That doesn’t mean I can’t be in charge of what I put into my body. THIS recipe and the smoothie with the pineapple and mangoes are my complete favorites?? Thank you so very much for your blog and your hard work and knowledge and really just for being thinking of you?.

Is it ok to use regular dairy milk for this recipe? Would it affect the taste negatively?
Thank you!
Maryea says
August 7, 2017 at 12:45 pmIt would not affect the taste in a bad way, however, cow’s milk is considered inflammatory, so I don’t recommend it if you’re trying to fight inflammation.

August 12, 2017 at 12:08 amCan ginger essential oil be used and if so, how much would I use?

October 5, 2017 at 1:05 pmSomeone made golden milk for me once, and I was apprehensive but ended up loving it. I’ll have to give your recipe a try! Thanks for sharing!
Maryea says

October 9, 2017 at 10:46 amI say it’s 1-2 because it makes one large mug or 2 smaller mugs. For me it’s 1 serving, but it might be too much for some people. I’m glad you liked this! 🙂

October 10, 2017 at 8:18 pmCan I heat the golden milk using my microwave instead of getting a pot dirty?

Tammy says
October 16, 2017 at 2:08 pmHow many servings will this paste make? I want to combine most of all of the ingredients together but not sure of amounts to use and I couldn’t find how many servings the tumeric paste makes. Thanks for this…I have RA and have been wanting to try this!

November 19, 2017 at 6:36 pmI love this recipe. I made some extra so I could use it to make overnight oats for breakfast. 1/2 cup rolled oats with 1/2 cup turmeric tea. Combine and put in the refrigerator. Enjoy a wonderfully healthy breakfast in the morning. My co-workers thought it looked disgusting but it tasted delicious.

Maryea says
December 27, 2017 at 8:12 amI’m afraid the flax seed oil will have to strong of a taste. If that doesn’t bother you, then it will be okay.
Avril says
February 5, 2018 at 11:19 amThis recipe makes 2 servings, could I drink both during the one day? It was delicious by the way, I will wait and see how it helps my joints. Thanks for sharing ?
Maryea says
February 6, 2018 at 6:20 pmYes, you can drink two in one day. 🙂

Maryea says
February 15, 2018 at 11:54 amI’m not aware of any reason why this wouldn’t be safe for you to drink, but it’s always best to check with a medical professional.

February 14, 2018 at 3:19 pmI drink this before bed. Before I started drinking it, I had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Now I sleep like a baby! And it does taste delicious!

Maryea says
March 9, 2018 at 8:00 amIt’s within the recipe card. I will update to make it more visible. 🙂
Pat says
March 19, 2018 at 6:57 pmHI. Did I read something wrong? I did not get a paste with the turmeric and water. 1/4 cup tumeric and 1/2 c water just came out very watery!
Amber Jones says
July 2, 2018 at 1:41 amI made a turmeric tea/ golden milk before and wasn’t too fond of it. I just tried this recipe and LOVE it! Thanks for sharing!! I will pass this on to others.

Judy says
November 21, 2018 at 3:53 amThis is my first time making the recipe and I really enjoyed it. Do you think it’s necessary to strain before serving? I did have a bit of the turmeric mixture at the bottom of my cup even though I whisked it constantly while heating. I have also seen other recipes where it says to strain it before drinking but then I worry you would lose some of the turmeric.

September 25, 2019 at 7:44 amI read your post and just wanted to add a few comments. There is a fb closed group called turmeric users group (TUG) that has a recipe for golden paste created by a veterinarian in Australia. You should ask to join. A wealth of information and great and knowledgeable folks. You will find why you should or shouldn’t add things to the mixture. For instance honey is sugar and sugar is extremely inflammatory so you shouldn’t add it or any other sugar. Also the black pepper needs to be freshly ground when you are making the paste. And you should never keep the paste longer than 2 weeks because it goes bad. It can be frozen to keep longer. I don’t typically comment on posts but thought you might want more information on using turmeric
