Turmeric and ginger have been used within Ayurvedic medicine and cooking for thousands of years and warm turmeric milk, ‘haldi ka doodh’, is still a popular home remedy in India. Apart from its health benefits, it makes a very soothing drink with a touch of sweetness from honey and a kick from turmeric and ginger. We have been making varieties of this for years and it’s good served both warm and cold. Be advised, though, turmeric is an acquired taste so start with a little less if you are not used to its flavour. Be sure to add the black pepper – it increases the bioavailability of curcumin, the active component of turmeric.
