How to Make Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk

'Tis the season {and the weekend if you're in the path of Hurricane Ian} for a warm brew that's spiced, soothing, and medicinal.

Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk

The fat {hemp hearts, coconut shreds, or soaked cashews} helps with the absorption of the turmeric, ginger and other spices. Add a pinch of black pepper in the blender to supercharge this drink! Get yourself a nut milk bag to strain the brew if you don't have one. A cheese cloth will work too. Costco has fabulous organic dates and organic hemp hearts. You can also exchange the hemp hearts for coconut shreds or soaked almonds or cashews in this recipe.
