Someone on another board said she used it for her arthritis, and said it really worked. I’ve been drinking it over the past few days, and while I don’t see any medicinal effect (so far), it sure tastes good.
It’s made with coconut milk, turmeric, ginger, honey, cinnamon, and pepper, both black and cayenne. It smells like custard and has a taste that can best be described as “warm”. If you can’t have coconut milk, another non-dairy milk can be substituted, and the spices have no set amount - just whatever tastes good.
It does taste a bit like eggnog, but it’s egg- and alcohol-free.
I should add that the woman who recommended it has a relative by marriage who is Nepalese and this was where she learned about it. IDK what kind of milk they use in Nepal for this.

Pre-emptive note: How it tastes is fine for this forum, but let’s leave out all discussion of whether it is or isn’t good for arthritis or other medical conditions.
Except for the honey and cinnamon, the recipe for golden milk sounds a lot like the beginnings of a congee. I use a lot of turmeric, and it almost always goes into any rice I make, congee or not, but especially congee. I love to eat it before practicing my guitar or using my aging fingers to turn the pages of a perfectly authoritative article endorsed by the National Institutes of Health.
