i once came across a word Hygge*, a term originated from the Scandinavian culture, “by cherishing the little things, we meet our inner self with a sense of coziness, contentment, and peacefulness”. the collaborative meaning somewhat touched me.
one night, as i was sipping this golden milk by the fireside, a sense of warmth and comfort arose, the word popped in my mind, a perfect Hygge* evening. aaahhh…i love this drink even more now, by the way.

with the essence from fresh ginger & turmeric, a heart-warming golden milk.

Scale
- 125 ml light coconut milk
- 125 ml almond milk
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger, or powder for convenient purpose
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated turmeric, or powder for convenient purpose

Notes
i prefer freshly grated turmeric & ginger over dry powder, because it makes the milk smoother. that’s why I normally don’t add pepper to it, but you could, for an extra kick!
