Low Histamine Golden Milk

May 24, 2018 by taniasurrow

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Today started out really grey and gloomy – a perfect kind of day to drink a cup golden milk. While there is a ton of recipes out there for golden milk, I still wanted to share my recipe for how I make my Low Histamine Golden Milk, with you guys.

Low Histamine Golden Milk

It is really quite simple. Peel and grate some fresh turmeric and fresh ginger. Add it to a pan together with a cinnamon stick, rice & coconut milk and a little coconut oil. Heat it over low heat, for 5-10 minutes and make sure it doesn’t boil. When it has a deep yellow color, strain it into your favorite cup and enjoy.

Low HIstamine Golden Milk - in the making

I like to use rice & coconut milk (from Royal Green), because it has a natural sweetness. You can of course use any kind of milk you prefer, and you can always add a little honey or syrup if you want.

Low Histamine Golden Milk

Black pepper is often added to golden milk, as it increases the uptake of turmeric. However black pepper can be an issue for some people with histamine intolerance. So instead of black pepper I mostly add some coconut oil, since fat also helps increase the uptake of turmeric. I’m curious how you normally make your golden milk?

    I bought ground turmeric from a co-op and I add a Tblspn to 2 C water, start heating to get to a simmer. I added pepper & cinnamon, but will now replace pepper with coconut oil, since pepper is high histamine. I’m glad to know I can have cinnamon! It is a favorite!!! then I add couple packets of this instant ginger honey crystals tea from Prince of Peace. I simmer it for 7 min and then add almond milk to cream it up! (but will change that too, to coconut milk since I’m learning almonds are high histamine?)

      Hi Lori,

      I think I just answered your comment of facebook too, but I’ll answer here too πŸ™‚

      Cinnamon is high in benzoates, which for some people can trigger a release of histamine. If you react to cinnamon, simply leave it out of the recipe, the golden milk is delicious without the cinnamon as well. But if you feel ready to reintroduce it, definitely give it a go πŸ˜€

      as for the almond milk, if you don’t react to it (or almonds), you don’t have to eliminated it. But if you don’t make your own almond milk, it is definitely important to find an almond milk without any nasty added ingredients, like various e nummers, gums etc.

      Thank you for sharing how you make your golden milk πŸ˜€ <3

        Thank you so much for putting these recipes up and all the advice! I have celiac disease, but I still feel awful and have allergic symptoms even without eating gluten. My doctor now recommended a low histamine diet to see if I have histamine intolerance. I was super lost until I found all of your stuff! A lot of the information was a little contradictory. Just wanted to say thank you, even your comments about cinnamon and stuff is really helpful!

    I was under the impression that cinnamon was high histamine?

      Hi Sheena,

      Actually cinnamon has a high level of benzoates, which in some people with HIT triggers a release of histamine in the body. However not all people with HIT have this reaction to cinnamon. I recommend leaving out in the elimination phase, and then bringing it back to see if you react to it or not. Also please note it is optional in this recipe.

    Could I use ground turmeric? Hard to find the actual root where I am.

    Hi Magaret,

    Yes you can use ground turmeric as well. I also do that sometimes if I run out of the fresh turmeric root. As for the amount, you just have to try and see what fits your taste buds πŸ™‚

    Is it OK to use normal cow’s milk? Or is that high in histamine?

    • taniasurrow says

      October 9, 2019 at 19:46

      Hi Izzy,

      Sure thing, go right ahead πŸ™‚ Where I can, I use plant based milk or goat milk because I’m some what sensitive to cow’s milk and tolerate alternatives like goat milk and some plant based milks better. If you have no issues with cow’s milk, just enjoy πŸ™‚ According to the SIGHI list milk (cow and goat) s low in histamine. You will however see it left out a lot of places (including on my site) because a lot of people with histamine intolerance have other food intolerances/sensitivities/allergies as well, of which dairy is often an issue.

      I hope this clarifies it for you,
      Tania πŸ™‚

        Thanks for this recipe. I love drinking it. I often use cow’s milk, however if you use fresh ginger, it will curdle the milk. (Yuck!) I found that using frozen ginger usually does the trick.

    Where can I get that particular rice coconut drink? Only comes up on European websites

    • taniasurrow says

      Hi Colleen,

      It is a dutch owned brand, and I think you are right about it only being sold in europe. I hope you’ll be able to find a suitable replacement.
