Golden Milk Powder Mix Recipe

Golden milk powder mix made with turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper for a quick, cozy drink anytime.

I make this spice blend all the time at home—it’s a simple turmeric latte mix you can stir into any milk for a warm, soothing drink.

It’s a cozy, Ayurvedic-style wellness drink made with anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger.

This homemade golden milk powder gives a smooth, balanced flavor with anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger, just like the blends I use in my own kitchen.

Why you’ll love it

• Easy blend : only pantry spices, no milk powder.
• Better flavor : warm turmeric latte taste with ginger and cinnamon.
• Use anytime : mix with hot milk, smoothies, oats, or coffee.
• Soothing drink : makes a warm wellness drink with natural anti-inflammatory spices.

Ingredients you need

• Turmeric – the base of the golden milk mix; use good-quality ground turmeric for color and flavor.
• Ginger – adds warmth and a spicy kick to the turmeric latte blend.
• Cinnamon – brings sweetness and depth to the powder mix.
• Black pepper – essential to activate curcumin and boost absorption.
• Cardamom or nutmeg (optional) – extra aromatics for a cozy flavor.
• Sea salt (optional) – a tiny pinch rounds out the spice mix.

Tips for this recipe

• Choose fresh spices – Turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon lose flavor fast; use fresh, vibrant powders for the best golden milk mix.
• Add black pepper – Black pepper helps activate curcumin naturally.
• Balance the spices – Adjust ginger for heat and cinnamon for sweetness to match your taste.
• Upgrade with vanilla – A little vanilla powder adds warmth and rounds out the blend.
• Use creamy milk – Whole milk, coconut milk, or oat milk help the turmeric powder dissolve smoothly.
• Plant-based milk works great too if you prefer a dairy-free golden latte.
