All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.
The beauty of this warm honey milk is that it comprises mostly pantry staples, and can be easily adapted too. You will need:
- Non-dairy milk: use the type that suits you best, whether oat or coconut (or other).
- Ginger: I suggest using a piece of fresh ginger if you can, but ginger powder works too.
- Cinnamon: this is optional, but gives a lovely flavour if you tolerate it.
- Turmeric: just a tiny pinch for some added health benefits! The Simply Organic ground turmeric is good.
- Honey: for sweetness that feels like such a treat.
☕ Adding coffee?
If you want to add a shot (or two!) of espresso to this drink, then that's definitely an option. It can of course be either regular coffee or decaf.

🔪 Step by step instructions
A very simple recipe, this honey warm milk drink is quick and easy for a mid-afternoon treat.
STEP 1
Add the milk, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon (if using) to a pan and heat on low-medium for 5-6 minutes until warm. Don't let it boil, and give it a whisk occasionally to infuse the spice into the milk.
STEP 2
Pour the milk through a fine mesh sieve into a jug to remove the ginger and any gritty pieces from the spices. Then pour back into the pan and drizzle in the honey. With the heat on low, whisk until the honey dissolves into the milk for a minute or so. Pour into your cups and enjoy!

💭 Recipe tips and notes
- Don't let the milk come to a boil, just let it get warm.
- If you are out of fresh ginger, then ginger powder will work too.
- I suggest not skipping the step to sieve the milk, it can taste a little gritty otherwise.
📋 Frequently asked questions
Can I use any form of non-dairy milk?
Yes, your choice will slightly alter the taste but any milk is good for this honey ginger warm milk recipe!
Should I bring the milk to a boil?
It's a little debated, but personally I don't bring the milk to a boil. I find it changes the taste a little and it is best to just warm it.
Can I use ginger powder?
Yes, if you don't have fresh ginger root you can always use a pinch of ground ginger instead.
Can I add coffee to the milk?
If you like a shot of coffee in your warm milk then I'm not going to stop you! Will taste so delicious with the spices.
