Ingredients

  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 inch Fresh Turmeric piece
  • 1-2 Cinnamon
  • 4-5 Green Cardamom pods coarsely ground
  • 5-6 Black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Sugar optional
  • 2 tablespoon Water

Instructions

  • Wash and grate fresh turmeric if using. It can be peeled or with skin.
  • Add 2 tablespoon of water in the pan. This helps to avoid milk from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the milk and turn on the flame. Add the grated turmeric (or turmeric powder).
  • Add the spices and sugar (if using). Mix well.
  • Let the milk come to a rolling boil on medium flame. Stir intermittently.
  • Once the milk boils, turn the flame off.
  • Pour the milk into mugs using a fine mesh sieve.
  • Serve turmeric milk warm, topped with some ground turmeric and black pepper powder.

Notes

  • This turmeric milk can be made using fresh powdered turmeric.
  • Dairy based milk or non-dairy based works well for this recipe.
  • Spices and sweetener are optional in the recipe. Use them as you like.
  • The higher the fat content of the milk, the creamier the turmeric milk will be. 
  • Once prepared it is best to consume the milk immediately. Heat it again if serving later.
