    Turmeric Milk also called Golden Milk is an Ayurvedic Indian drink with anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting and healing properties. Some call this super healthy drink as golden turmeric milk, turmeric latte or turmeric tea but in India, it is popularly called Haldi Doodh. The healing properties of the haldi doodh ensure to provide warmth and good health especially on freezing cold winter days.

All options are located at the beginning of the post.

    Although turmeric has gained popularity as a super spice in western countries recently, it has been in existence in India since ancient times. This ancient spice has its roots in Ayurveda and has been used for its immense health benefits. Perhaps the turmeric milk is one of the most preferred energy drinks recommended by our grannies and as a remedy for almost all possible ailments.

    To get the health benefits, just a pinch of turmeric has to be incorporated into the diet. Perhaps, turmeric is one of the most essential spices used in Indian cuisine. It not only provides immense health benefits but also a lovely hue to the dishes such as Lemon Rice, Bombay Chutney, Methi Malai Paneer. Turmeric Ginger Cinnamon tea is a healthy alternative to caffeine drinks. 

    Pepper enhances the power of curcumin present in turmeric. It further helps the absorption of antibiotics by the body and induces anti-inflammatory actions. Ghee helps to get relief from sore throat and cough. Moreover according to Ayurveda, consuming milk with ghee helps to boost digestive strength.

    Turmeric Milk Recipe Variations

    For the vegan version, substitute dairy milk with coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk. Substitute honey with maple syrup, coconut sugar or jaggery. Swap coconut oil for ghee.

    Add a pinch of ground cinnamon to impart a floral aroma and subtle flavour without overpowering the turmeric flavour.

    Try adding a pinch of crushed cardamom to add a lovely warm flavour and aroma.

      Haldi doodh is one of the healing beverage we use whenever there is something not well. I find it better to use than medicines. Lovely color and composition.

      Have always looked upon Turmeric Milk as strictly a medicine and nothing else but never thought it could look this much inviting. Pictures are spectacular.

        I totally agree with you Shailender. As a child, even I never liked it as I always treat it as medicine! Now I prefer this over coffee or tea, especially on freezing days.

      Awesome idea Geetha to serve turmeric milk as a cool latte. I must try as I've never had it cold. Adding ghee is another good suggestion as I usually add butter.

      Haldi Wala doodh is a boon during winter season given how the ingredients involved are beneficial for our overall health.
      I make it in slight different way than yours.
