How to Prepare Beetroot Milk
- Prepare the Beetroot

- Boil the Milk
- In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Add the Beetroot
- Stir in the grated beetroot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 10–15 minutes until the beetroot softens and infuses the milk with its vibrant color and flavor.
- Sweeten and Serve
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Add honey or your preferred sweetener to taste. Stir well.
- Serve warm as a comforting drink or refrigerate and enjoy chilled as a refreshing treat.
Optional Variations
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a warm, aromatic twist.
- Thicker Consistency: Let the mixture simmer longer for a creamy, pudding-like texture.
