How to make golden milk (turmeric milk or haldi doodh)

My favorite home remedy, Haldi Doodh or golden milk!

Here is one home remedy that is rooted in culture and tradition.

➡️ Turmeric is a commonly used spice in Indian cooking.
➡️ This turmeric drink or “Golden Milk” is best known in Ayurvedic medicine.

Because Turmeric is a source of curcumin, it is thought to reduce inflammation and may even help with joint pain.

Not only that, but Golden Milk also has antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties.

I drink this at the first sign of a sore throat or feeling under the weather and give it to Ryaan when he has a runny nose or cough.

How I make it: 📝

✔️ Warm up a mug of milk of your choice (plant-based alternatives with similar fat content preferred). Ideally, boiling milk is preferred but I have found the benefit of microwaving and mixing to ensure an even temperature.

➡️ Add the following:

✔️ 3/4-1 tsp of turmeric (adults) or 2 pinches-1/4 teaspoon for kids (or to taste)
✔️ Add 1-2 pinches of black pepper
✔️ Add ½ -1 teaspoon of honey (if over one year of age)
✔️ 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (I add to taste)

As a bonus flavor punch:
✔️ Add 1-2 pinches of cayenne pepper

As a safety precaution:

➡️ Use in moderation (for a kid over one: once or twice a day while sick is reasonable).
➡️ Turmeric milk and other home remedies should NEVER take the place of receiving medical attention for a sick child.
➡️ I do not support turmeric pill supplements for children unless directed by a licensed medical professional.

PLEASE HELP!! I been trying to figure out if coconut milk would be a better fit for me, can't consume dairy. Also would avocado oil be ok to add to it if so how much? Thanks in advance.

McCormick Cinnamon is Cassia cinnamon. Cinnamon MUST BE the more rare Ceylon cinnamon and not the more common cheaper Cassia cinnamon, because Cassia cinnamon is full of Coumarin which is highly toxic to the liver in these higher doses!

Hello.
Is there a reason for milk to be warm?

[nosupressingprophecyforkon]

I’m not to sure about milk but wow that’s some recipe

[bareeraarif]

This is actually not the right way to make it make sure to heat up both things which gives good benefits bcz turmeric not soluble so well when u just add in milk.
