If you’ve ever visited a trendy coffee shop, you’ve likely seen a golden milk latte on the menu—a vibrant, spicy-sweet beverage made with milk, turmeric, and ginger to create a chai-like hot drink that warms you up from the inside out. In this recipe, golden milk is used to dress up a simple millet porridge and turn the neutral-tasting grains into a fragrant feast. A combo of fresh and dried fruit is mixed into the chewy millet to soak up the flavors of the milk so that every element of the dish is infused with warming spices. Complete the dish by adding a crunchy garnish of sliced almonds (or pumpkin seeds if you don’t eat nuts) and then dig into this hearty breakfast that will keep your belly full and taste buds tingling for the entire morning.

2 cups unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger

3 cups cooked millet
1 apple, cored and chopped (1½ cups)
⅓ cup chopped dried fruit, such as raisins, currants, and/or apricots

For golden milk, in a medium saucepan bring milk to boiling. Add ginger and turmeric; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes or until very fragrant, stirring frequently. Whisk in maple syrup. Strain and discard solids; set milk aside.
Add millet and 1 cup water to saucepan. Cover and cook over medium 10 minutes. Reserve a few pieces of apple and dried fruit for garnish. Stir the remaining apple and dried fruit into the saucepan.
