Golden Milk Moroccan Style: A Warming Turmeric and Ginger Drink
08 Nov 2026
Quick answer: Golden milk is a warm drink made by simmering milk (dairy or plant-based) with turmeric and other spices. This version uses ground turmeric, ginger and a pinch of black pepper, and it takes about five minutes.
Ingredients (1 mug)
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 1/2 teaspoon Tayeb ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon Tayeb ground ginger
- A pinch of black pepper
- Honey or sugar to taste, and a pinch of cinnamon if you like
Method
- Warm the milk in a small pot over medium-low heat.
- Whisk in the spices and sweetener.
- Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, whisking, but do not boil hard.
- Pour into a mug and enjoy warm.
Tips
- Whisk well, because ground turmeric settles quickly.
- Turmeric stains, so rinse your pot and mug right away.
- Prefer something without milk? Use hot water for a simple spiced tea.
Turmeric and ginger are also used in rice, soups and stews. See the Moroccan spice cabinet. Looking for a warm gift? See our gift guide.
