Serves: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup turmeric powder
- 1/4 cup ginger powder
- 1/4 cup cinnamon powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon nutmeg powder
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1/2 cup turmeric powder, 1/4 cup ginger powder, 1/4 cup cinnamon powder, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon cardamom powder, and 1 tablespoon nutmeg powder.
- Ensure your workspace is clean and you have a mixing bowl and a whisk or spoon ready for combining the spices.
- In the mixing bowl, add the turmeric powder as the base ingredient. This spice is known for its vibrant color and health benefits.
- Next, add the ginger powder to the bowl. Ginger adds a warm, spicy flavor and is also beneficial for digestion.
- Then, incorporate the cinnamon powder into the mix. Cinnamon not only enhances the flavor but also provides antioxidant properties.
- Sprinkle in the black pepper. This ingredient is essential as it helps enhance the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
- Now, add the cardamom powder. Cardamom brings a unique sweetness and aromatic flavor to the spice mix.
- Finally, add the nutmeg powder. Nutmeg contributes a warm, nutty flavor and is known for its calming effects.
- Using a whisk or spoon, thoroughly mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the color is uniform.
- Once mixed, transfer the Golden Milk Spice Mix into a clean, dry jar for storage. Make sure the jar is airtight to preserve the freshness of the spices.
- Label the jar with the name of the spice mix and the date it was made. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
- Your Golden Milk Spice Mix is now ready to be used in your favorite recipes or enjoyed in warm milk for a soothing drink.
