Turmeric milk popularly called golden milk has many health benefits. Turmeric milk is called haldi doodh in India as turmeric is called haldi and milk is called doodh in Hindi. This milk is a very famous home remedy for many minor illnesses and it is also very easy to make it at home.
To make this turmeric milk recipe, milk is warmed with palm candy and a pinch of turmeric powder. We always use organic, grass fed whole milk from our farm for making turmeric milk and it tastes delicious but you can use any type of milk you prefer. You can consume turmeric milk any time of the day, I some times like to take it before going to bed.
We always grind our own turmeric powder, but if you could get organic turmeric powder, please use that. Once the milk is warmed, remove and add fresh pepper powder. This milk tastes really good but don’t add too much of turmeric powder, just a pinch will do, else the milk will have a strong raw flavor of turmeric.
