Haldi Doodh | Spiced Turmeric Latte | Golden Milk

Haldi Doodh | Spiced Turmeric Latte | Golden Milk.

There is a nip in the air, and last night I skipped the hot and spicy dinner and craved for something comforting. This drink is personification of comfort and healing. Also, my go-to drink/meal when me or anyone in the family feels under the weather. Turmeric is known for its healing properties and combined with warm spices and black pepper to assimilate turmeric makes this drink worth trying.

Here is the traditional version of this spiced, warm, comforting drink that we make at home. I am putting in the measurements for one cup of turmeric milk so double the ingredients as per quantity and preferences.

Pour a cup of milk in a small saucepan and put it on low flame. We don’t need to boil the milk here. Just heat it enough. Add 1 tsp peeled and grated raw turmeric (use 3/4 tsp ground turmeric if fresh isn’t available). Add in 1/3 tsp ginger powder, 1/4 tsp crushed cardamom, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder, 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg. Let it simmer for 5 mins on low flame. 

Take it off the heat and add sweetener of choice (I added 1/2 tsp sugar). Stir it well, strain and pour into a mug. Sprinkle ground black pepper and sip away. Enjoy!!!

This drink is served immediately and tastes and works best when made fresh.
