I have officially gone to the fall side. Last weekend was lobster rolls and sunburns, this weekend it’s pumpkin spice and Christmas music. It’s amazing what one rainy, 50-degree day will do to a girl.
Aside from the rare and obscure options out there (like pumpkin spice potato chips … really?!), I have no shame in my pumpkin spice game. Being a fall baby, I’ve practically have pumpkin spice running through my veins since birth.
As much as I say I don’t follow trendy foods, I totally fall victim to trendy foods. Only a few, I swear. Amongst them? Kombucha. Cold brew coffee. And Golden Milk, also known as Turmeric Lattes.
They’re spicy, soul-warming, and would totally hit it off with my friend pumpkin spice. Y’all have so much in common.
Why I Love This Pumpkin Spice Golden Milk Recipe
- It’s easy to make — the #1 priority to all of my recipes. It works well both on the stovetop and in the microwave depending on how fast you need your pumpkin fix.
- It’s versatile. Like things sweet? Add more sweet. Not so much? Dial down the sweet, and up the spice, and everything nice. Use the milk you like. Do you, boo. I include what I used in the recipe below.
- It’s caffeine-free. Especially once the temps drop, I C-R-A-V-E nothing but warm drinks all day, everyday. I love whipping one of these up in the afternoon for a little pick me up without any caffeine jitters.
