Yes, you can mix turmeric with milk to create a beverage commonly known as "turmeric milk" or "golden milk." Turmeric has been used for centuries in traditional medicine due to its potential health benefits, and mixing it with milk is a popular way to consume it. Turmeric contains an active compound called curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
When mixing turmeric with milk, you can follow these general steps:
-
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ½ to 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder or freshly grated turmeric
- A pinch of black pepper (optional, as it can enhance the absorption of curcumin)
- Sweetener of your choice (such as honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
- Other spices like cinnamon or ginger (optional)
-
Instructions:
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low to medium heat.
- Add turmeric powder or freshly grated turmeric to the milk.
- If using, add a pinch of black pepper and any optional spices.
- Stir the mixture continuously while heating to ensure the turmeric blends well and doesn't clump.
- Once the milk is warmed and the ingredients are fully mixed, remove from heat.
- Strain the milk to remove any remaining pieces of turmeric or spices if desired.
- Sweeten the milk with your preferred sweetener to taste.
