Here's a Golden Nogg (recipe below) toast to you and all that we have achieved together this year. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Recipe
There are 3 steps to this version…but once you get it, it’s super easy!
Step 1 - Cashew Mylk (cashews and water)
Soak 1 cup of raw cashews in water 8-12 hours
Rinse until water drains clear
Place cashews in blender
Add water (the more water you add, the thinner the mylk, so if you like a thicker consistency, add less water, or see variations below)
Blend well (about 3-5 mins on high, depending on blender power)
Step 2 – Turmeric paste (turmeric powder, ground black pepper and water)
On medium heat, dry roast turmeric powder and black pepper in a small pot (about 2 mins)
Add water and simmer while continuously stirring until it turns into a paste (think toothpaste…about 5-10 mins)
Remove from heat
Step 3 – Golden Nogg (with cashew mylk still in blender, add the following and blend well)
Turmeric paste
Soaked and pitted dates (or your favorite sweetener)
Vanilla powder
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Coconut oil or ghee
For variations for this recipe, you can add more of the following: black pepper (increases heat), ginger (supports digestion), add cardamom (balances doshas).
You can blend on high speed for an extended time to heat up the Nogg if you prefer it warm.
