Warmed Turmeric Milk

Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, making this recipe a great tonic for health. It is an Ayurvedic remedy for phlegm-based illnesses like colds. In India, turmeric is used for skin problems and all kinds of other health issues. It is great for those dealing with cancer and is a main component of curry powder.
  • 250 ml milk (dairy, rice, soy, almond, etc.)
  • 1/2 tsp powdered turmeric
Gently heat milk and stir in turmeric. It's that frigging easy :-)

Variation: Add 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp of curry powder along with an optional small amount of sweetener like agave nectar.
