How to make the recipe
How to Make Turmeric Milk
Traditional turmeric milk is made by bringing Cow's milk to a boil first. Pour milk to a pot and bring it to a gentle boil. If you want to use all the other optional spices, add them and boil for 2 mins. (read my notes below)
Turn off and cool down the milk to a slightly hot temperature. Add ground black pepper (powder) and turmeric. Mix well.
Transfer turmeric milk to a cup and consume while still warm. You may filter/strain the milk if you use other whole spices. Add sweetener if required. If using honey add it only when the milk comes down to warm temperature.
