Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best type of milk to use for Golden Milk?

We recommend whole milk because full-fat options create a creamier result. Our Oat Beverages are also an excellent dairy-free alternative.

Can I use fresh turmeric instead of ground turmeric powder?

Yes! Fresh turmeric root can be used. It has a stronger, earthier flavor. A general guideline is to use a 1-inch piece of fresh, sliced or grated turmeric root for every 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric powder.

Can I drink Golden Milk cold?

While it is traditionally served hot for its soothing qualities, you can definitely enjoy it iced if you prefer.

Our 100% grassfed cows are never fed grains, which gives Grassmilk® milk the subtle seasonal flavors of our pastures. This is milk as it was meant to be.
