The best way to describe this hot beverage is that it has a warm, creamy, earthy flavour with a little kick of spice and hint of sweetness. The taste can definitely be intensified by increasing the quantity of spices that you add, in addition to the sweetener. And that's the beauty of this beverage -- you can adapt it to your personal tastes! The first time I made this recipe, I'll admit that I may have added too many spices to the point where I found it to be slightly overpowering and a little much. The next time around, I cut back on the spices a bit and it was so much more enjoyable. The recipe I've included today is on the milder side for those who haven't experienced golden milk before. But feel free to pump up the spices if you'd like it to have more of a powerful kick! You may wish to increase the level of sweetness at the same time to balance out the spices.
