Golden Milk Bombs

Some nights and mornings the Farmer’s Wife is wanting a bit of warmth without all that coffee or bourbon. She wants something sweet. And soothing. Something just right. And this Golden Milk is it. And especially made this way, a head of time, so that when she has a bit of peace and quiet, she can make it up, real quick.

And how you do it is this:

Take a half cup virgin coconut oil—the kind that still tastes like coconut. Organic is best. And mix with that a half cup of the granulated sweetener of your choice: Brown, Sucanat, or Coconut Sugar are some options. The Farmer’s Wife tends to go with the basic brown, because that’s what she has on hand, but all are good. Add to that one and a half teaspoons black pepper, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, vanilla, and ground cardamom. To that add a quarter teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Finally, add two tablespoons ground turmeric and stir until all is smooth.

Using a tablespoon sized cookie scooper, scoop out twelve tablespoon-sized servings. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in your freezer, just until set—about fifteen minutes. Once they’re nice and firm, removed from the freezer and store in a storage container of your choice. These do not have to be refrigerated, so go for something fancy to set out on the counter.

When you’re ready for a bit of relaxation, warm a half-cup of milk, again any kind you like: soy, goat, cow, sheep, oat, coconut, almond. Yak. Whatever. Drop in one bomb and stir. And sip. And close your eyes.
And breathe.
