Golden Milk

Combine honey and spice blend until mixed thoroughly; set aside. Gently heat milk. Add half of heated milk to honey-spice blend; stir or aerate with a handheld frother until combined. Add remaining heated milk and froth again.

Why combine the honey and spices ahead of time? The honey behaves like glue, in a way. The spices become suspended in the honey, which helps minimize grittiness when incorporated with the milk. The longer they hang out together, the better.

Fan of golden milk? Prepare larger quantities of the honey-spice blend in advance. Mix the contents of a 1-ounce bag of Good as Gold with 12 ounces of honey in a resealable glass jar. Store at room temperature. Use 2 teaspoons per 8 ounces milk whenever the mood strikes – or add to smoothies, yogurt and ice cream!
