Hey, I'm Lydia!

I like playing in the sun and dirt, growing things and taking care of plant babies. When I’m not doing that, I’m watching E! or the  RHWOanywhere and thinking about how to make french fries burn fat (I've never met a french fry I didn’t love). I earned my level 1 crunchy hippie mom badge birthing my little man Mitt unmedicated (ya know, how everyone around the world does...) But I guess the internet liked it cuz our little birth story went viral- go figure.  I'm on a mission to keep myself and my family well, naturally and love and honor our Earth. I'm married to Ben and we are a blending family in progress. I'm loving on my growing tribe of sisterhood from all around the world, join us and stay connected.

Golden milk tea is an amazing little drink that is packed with some of the most powerful and healthy spices.

It is a very old Indian recipe that is recently becoming popular in the West… Along with other Ayurvedic practices. Golden milk tea has been used in some form or another for centuries, and we can still see all the nearly unbelievable results to this day.


The benefits of golden milk tea are mostly from the turmeric it’s made with. However, when you add in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, honey, and coconut oil; you’ve got a truly magical blend of hundreds of benefits.

Just a few of these benefits are:

  • A lowered risk of heart disease

  • Tons of antioxidants

  • Antimicrobial/antibacterial

  • Weight loss

  • Relief from pain and inflammation

  • Restful sleep

  • Better moods

  • Protection from cavities

  • More good cholesterol, and less bad

  • Combats dementia and Alzheimer’s

  • A healthier liver

  • Prebiotic benefits (out with bad bacteria, and in with the good)

  • Stress relief

  • Blood purification

  • Improved healing (inside and out)

  • Clear skin

  • More balanced blood sugar

  • Being less likely to develop cancer

  • …and SO MUCH MORE!

This drink is so wonderful for your health, and it actually tastes really good too! Are you ready to make some of your own? Below is a great recipe you can use to make your very own golden milk tea:

  • Start with 2 cups of organic, pure coconut milk in your blender as a base. (You can also use another plant based milk, or even organic bone broth if you prefer.)

  • Add 1tsp to 1Tblsp of coconut oil to help with absorption of all the nutrients.

  • Add 1 1/2tsp of turmeric

  • Add 1tsp each of cinnamon and nutmeg

  • Add a 1in piece of fresh ginger that you have peeled and sliced. (You can also substitute 1/2tsp of powdered ginger if you don’t have fresh on hand.)

  • Add 1/4tsp of cardamom

  • Add in some real honey or organic maple syrup to your taste preference

  • Optional additions: a sprinkle of black pepper and/or a pinch of cayenne also helps with absorption and adds a little kick

  • Then, blend well until smooth.

  • Now, just heat (not to boiling) and drink!

You can make this in bigger batches and store in the refrigerator for up to a week, and you can also enjoy golden milk tea cold if you prefer.

I hope you’ll try golden milk tea for yourself! Please let me know if you have a favorite recipe, or anything extra you like to add to make it your own!
