Raise your hand if you need some of this calming tea right now! Both of my hands are raised!

In fact, you might also enjoy my calming screensavers created for your phone, I did it for me, but wanted to share with you!

And yes, if you are wondering if spazooly is a made up word, YUP! On the spot, that’s how I roll, if I can’t think of a word, I just make one up. It might also be called getting older…I’m going with creativity.

Anyhoo, I want you to be able to share this beautiful, golden, healthy, sleep aid tea with others, so I wanted to give you the instructions on how to make the spice mix along with provide you with some free pretty labels to print.

What Spices Do You Need for Golden Milk Spice Mix

  • ½ cup turmeric powder
  • ¼ cup ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons finely ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ground ginger

All you need are these 4 basic and simple ingredients to make this Golden Milk Spice Mix. In 5-minutes with these 4-ingredients, plus a little dairy or plant based milk, a touch of coconut oil and a little maple syrup or honey for sweetening and you have a cuppa this relaxing tea.

P.S. I am not a fan of black pepper, I think I have a slight allergy to it, so I do not like “biting or sipping” into larger chunks of black pepper. So really mix the spice up, I poured the entire spice mixture into my blender, whirring it for a few seconds to blend all of those spices.

How Do I make Golden Milk Using Spice Mix Recipe

Glad you asked, well, that’s why you are here right!

In a small saucepan, warm a cup of your favorite “milk” dairy, plant based or a combo (easily becomes vegan), whisking in a teaspoon of the Golden Milk Spice Mix, and a tablespoon coconut oil and desired sweetener (honey, maple syrup, stevia, coconut sugar, etc).

For a creamier Golden Milk Latte, whir in a blender before or after heating*, or use your favorite frother <<- my favorite!. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.

*WARNING!!! –>>If blending AFTER HEATING, be careful when removing blender lid, slowly opening away from you. The heat will cause pressure to build in the blender, causing it to spit and spurt, but it does make for a beautiful creamy, golden milk latte. Or simply heat in a pan or use a frother.

Free Printable Labels and Gift Tags for Golden Milk Spice Mix

This is a beautiful spice mix to gift someone, think hostess gifts, Christmas, holiday, neighbor gifts or just because! I thought I’d make some pretty (FREE) labels to go with the mix.

Check out these other great hostess and holiday food gift ideas:

  • Homemade Vanilla
  • Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Bourbon Vanilla Extract
  • Lemon & Peppermint Hand Scrub

I have 2 inch label for smaller diameter jar lids and 3 inch round labels for wide mouth jars, like the one shown here in the picture below. Punch or cut out and affix to jar lid with a little glue, or punch a hole and tie to the front.

Or a cute tag like this one. Tie with some baking twine, twine or other ribbon.

Typically, I use 65# white or kraft paper for most my gift tags, they hold up well and punch well. I have a couple of punches to make tags easier not requiring me to use a whole sheet of labels; this 1 ยฝ inch punch and 3 inch punch are great!

      This settled my stomach and helped me sleep through the night. I have been sick for two weeks so this recipe came at the right time. I like blending it and making it frothy. It is easy to substitute nondairy milk and it still tastes good.

        Hi Jenni,

        Store it like you would any spice, in an airtight jar and as for how long, look at the expiration dates on your spices and mark on the bottom the earliest expiration date. Iโ€™ve never had mine go bad, if anything the spices will just start to lose their potency.
