1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together all of the ingredients.

2. Just before the milk starts to boil (you will see a few bubbles), reduce the heat to low.

3. Cook the mixture, occasionally stirring, for 10 minutes.

4. Pour the golden milk through a fine-mesh strainer into a heat-safe mug and serve hot. Reheat leftover golden milk on the stovetop over low heat.
