Here’s why this drink is loved and how to make it at home.
1. Why Ginger-in-Milk Is So Helpful
When simmered gently in milk, ginger releases warm, calming compounds that support:
- Better digestion

2. Ingredients You Need
Just two simple items:
- 1 cup milk (cow’s, oat, or almond)

Optional: a small teaspoon of honey after cooking — still fully natural.
3. How to Make This Comforting Drink
- Pour the milk into a small pot.
- Add the grated ginger.
- Bring to a gentle simmer — do not boil aggressively.
