We are entering a season of warm, spice-filled drinks, and in my opinion golden milk should be in your regular rotation- if not only because it’s delicious, but for the many health benefits turmeric provides.

Watch out- my head might have grown a size or two because I’ve been nailing it at the halibut game, if I can be so bold.
