So delicious!!! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's earthy, sweet, creamy, and so warming. After having the flu and then bronchitis, it's just what I needed.

Amazing. Delicious. Tastes like a drinking a warm turmeric snickerdoodle cookie. Good for the soul and the body. Thank you for sharing!

I made it and added 1/4 tsp ginger which I think I will add 1/8th next time as it is a bit spicy. I made with local honey and whole milk. Very good.

Used homemade hemp milk and followed the recipe. Added some vanilla extract, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and maple syrup. Great recipe, but next time I will use a different plant-based milk such as coconut, cashew, or almond milk as the hemp milk was a bit too strong in flavor for the golden milk in my books. Thank you for another healthy, tasty recipe!
