Ingredients
For the Iced Ombré Golden Milk:
- 1½ oz golden milk syrup
- ¾ - 1 cup milk of choice, divided
For the Golden Milk Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp ground turmeric
- 2 tbsp ginger juice (I use The Ginger People)
- 4 cardamom pods
- 1 cinnamon stick
- pinch black pepper
- 1 vanilla bean (optional)
- 1 empty tea bag (optional)
Instructions
For the Iced Ombré Golden Milk:
- Pour half of the milk into a glass and froth it with a milk frother, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Set aside.
- Pour the syrup and the other half of the milk into a cocktail shaker or mason jar and fill it ¾ with ice.
- Shake until the liquid is cold, then strain it into a tall glass filled with ice.
- Top the glass with the frothed milk and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
For the Golden Milk Syrup:
- Heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until all of the sugar has dissolved, then add the turmeric (in a tea bag, if possible), cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for five to ten minutes or until flavorful. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the ginger juice.
- Allow the syrup to cool fully before straining out the solids. Store any leftover syrup in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
