Turmeric Milk

Turmeric Milk

I frantically started searching for recipes when my husband brought home 1 kilo of fresh turmeric root. I found many drink recipes calling for milk, turmeric, and ginger root. I sampled different amounts of each ingredient and feel this is a perfect balance between creamy almond milk, spicy ginger, and the earthy taste of turmeric. This is a less spiced version of Haldi Ka Doodh.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
  • 1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 pinch ground turmeric
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1
Combine turmeric root, ginger root, and honey together in a bowl, crushing the turmeric and ginger as much as possible.

Step 2
Heat almond milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once small bubbles begin to form around the edges, reduce heat to low. Transfer about 2 tablespoon milk to turmeric mixture to allow mixture to soften and honey to melt into a paste-like mixture.

Step 3
Mix the turmeric paste into milk in the saucepan; raise temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously, until fully combined. Blend with an immersion blender for a smooth texture.

Step 4
Pour turmeric tea into a mug and top with ground turmeric and cinnamon.

Cook’s Notes:

Pregnant or nursing women, young children, or diabetics should consult their physician before consuming turmeric.
