Passed down through generations, this soothing golden drink made with honey, milk, and turmeric is more than just comforting — it’s a natural remedy known for its healing, calming, and immune-boosting effects. Perfect for chilly evenings or when you feel run down, this old-fashioned remedy still works wonders today.
🌿 Why It’s So Special:
- Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
- Milk offers calcium and helps absorb the turmeric more effectively, especially when warm.
- Honey soothes the throat, aids digestion, and gives the drink a touch of natural sweetness.
Together, they create a warming tonic that helps the body rest, repair, and feel calm.
🥣 Ingredients (1 serving):
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat)
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp honey (add after heating)
