I've seen numerous tiny differences in golden milk, but it is basically some type of plant-based milk with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and a tiny bit of black pepper steeped into it. I used coconut milk because the fat helps with the absorption of the turmeric. Simmer on the stove for about 8 minutes on low, then strain out any solid spices and drink. Lots of good anti-inflammatory compounds in it, and it tastes delicious so I figured it couldn't hurt!
