Turmeric Milk

Description

I frantically started searching for recipes when my husband brought home 1 kilo of fresh turmeric root. I found many drink recipes calling for milk, turmeric, and ginger root. I sampled different amounts of each ingredient and feel this is a perfect balance between creamy almond milk, spicy ginger, and the earthy taste of turmeric. This is a less spiced version of Haldi Ka Doodh.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated
  • 1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 pinch ground turmeric (Optional)
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine turmeric root
  2. ginger root
  3. and honey together in a bowl
  4. crushing the turmeric and ginger as much as possible.
  5. Heat almond milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once small bubbles begin to form around the edges
  6. reduce heat to low. Transfer about 2 tablespoon milk to turmeric mixture to allow mixture to soften and honey to melt into a paste-like mixture.
  7. Mix the turmeric paste into milk in the saucepan; raise temperature to medium-low and cook
  8. stirring continuously
  9. until fully combined. Blend with an immersion blender for a smooth texture.
  10. Pour turmeric tea into a mug and top with ground turmeric and cinnamon.
