Golden Mylk Recipe

Here’s a recipe I adapted from my friends at the The Roadhouse in Byron Bay Australia. They serve this delicious and super healthy anti-inflammatory drink everyday. It’s a big hit with their customers!

Chef Pete Evans and I make this recipe on The Paleo Way TV show (Season 2 – Episode 3). You can watch it on iTunes or Netflix. Chef Pete adds a few extra ingredients – cardamom and vanilla.

Ingredients: (makes 2 servings)

• 1/2 ounce or 15 grams of freshly grated turmeric root (about 1 1/2 inch piece)
• 1 ounce or 25 grams of freshly grated ginger root (about 1 1/2 inch piece)
• Pinch of ground black pepper
• Pinch or two of cinnamon
• 500 ml or two cups of filtered water
• 5 ml MCT oil
• Liquid Stevia Extract (You’ll have to experiment to get the desired level of sweetness you prefer. Start with a few drops and add more if needed. I like the Stevita brand)

Instructions:

Grate or crush turmeric and ginger root. Put the turmeric, ginger, black pepper and cinnamon in a pot and simmer on low to medium heat for a minute. Then add in the water and simmer on medium heat until half of the water level reduces by about half. If you want to make a stronger brew, add more water and simmer a while longer. Add the Nut Mylk (see recipe below) to the pot and simmer, stirring constantly on low for a little while to let all the fat soluble compounds in the turmeric bind into the Nut Mylk. Strain. Add MCT oil and stevia to the mix and stir. Pour into your favorite mug and sprinkle some pepper and/or cinnamon for a garnish.

Nut Mylk

Ingredients:

• Two handfuls of organic shredded coconut
• Small handful of macadamia nuts
• A pinch of sea salt
• 1 tsp – 1 tbsp of non-GMO soy lecithin
• About 4 cups of filtered water (about 3 parts of water to 1 part other ingredients – add more nuts and coconut if you want the Nut Mylk to be creamier)

Instructions:

Put all the above ingredients in a blender. Blend for a few minutes and then strain through a nut mylk bag. Put in a bottle and place in the fridge. It should last a few days.

Enjoy!
