Low Histamine Golden Milk

Jump to Recipe

Low Histamine Golden Milk is creamy, lightly spiced, and naturally anti-inflammatory. Unlike traditional golden milk, this version uses rice and coconut milk and skips black pepper and powdered spices to keep it histamine-safe. It’s the ideal warm drink for those looking for a calming, gut-friendly beverage that avoids fermented or irritating ingredients.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 tsp fresh turmeric: peeled and grated, anti-inflammatory
• 1 tsp fresh ginger: peeled and grated, warming but generally safe in small amounts
• ½ cinnamon stick (optional): gentle spice, avoid if sensitive
• ½ tsp coconut oil: adds creaminess and supports absorption
• 500 ml rice & coconut milk (about 2 cups): use additive-free milk for best results

How to Make Low Histamine Golden Milk:

Prepare Ingredients:
Peel and finely grate the turmeric and ginger.

Simmer Gently:
In a small saucepan, add the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon stick (if using), rice & coconut milk, and coconut oil.

Heat Slowly:
Warm the mixture over low heat for 5–10 minutes, making sure it does not boil, to preserve the beneficial compounds and keep it histamine-safe.

Strain and Serve:
Once it develops a rich yellow color, strain into mugs using a fine mesh strainer. Enjoy warm.
