THE GOLDEN MILK

Turmeric milk is living its best life at the moment. When Starbucks recently introduced the golden twist to their coffee,Turmeric Latte, it instantly rose to fame and took over social media with beautiful images of the healing brew.

From weight loss to better digestion to glowing skin, golden milk is truly a magical brew. The combination of milk and turmeric is a powerful one and should be your ultimate health & beauty potion.

Here is our favourite way to mix the elixir up:

Ingredients:

  • Half cup Water
  • Half cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • A pinch of Cinnamon
  • Grated Ginger

Recipe:

  • Take a vessel, pour half cup of water and bring to boil
  • Add Turmeric and simmer in it
  • Add a pinch of black pepper
  • Add Cinnamon (Cinnamon is the secret to a thin waist line, it helps in reducing belly fat)
  • Add the grated ginger
  • Boil the concoction for 5 minutes
  • Add half cup of milk and stir the milk while it is simmering. This will ensure heat is evenly distributed.
  • Strain the milk with the help of a strainer and pour it into a cup
  • Garnish with honey if you like
  • Add a spoonful of coconut oil (if you like) for that extra nourishment

The pepper is the key because it allows the body to absorb the turmeric nutrients since our body struggles to absorb the ‘curcumin’ that is the magic substance in turmeric. Adding pepper makes sure that the body absorbs the nutrient and you can get the full benefit of your golden milk.

As you sip your cup of goodness, we’d like you to think of the various ways in which it nourishes your body and soothes your soul:

Apart from giving instant relief to a sore throat and flu, it has a host of other benefits including:

  • Digestion
    It keeps your digestive system healthy and treats conditions such as heartburn or gastric refluxes. Ginger, another common ingredient in golden milk, is great at fighting nausea and soothing stomachaches.
  • Skin & Weight Loss:
    It’s a superfood for your skin – It makes the skin smooth, removes fine lines and other signs of premature ageing, reduces acne, and lightens scars. It also promotes your metabolism thereby supporting weight loss.
  • Joints & Muscles
    It soothes a sore body and provides relief from daily stress related aches. It keeps your muscles happy! The coconut oil acts as lubricant for your joints and strengthen them.
  • Immunity
    It strengthens the immunity system. So if you are someone who naturally catches infections or cold or the flu, this could be a boon for you. Milk is good for your bones and teeth, and the golden milk is a great way to pack up on that much needed calcium.
  • Liver Tonic
    It is an excellent blood purifier and detoxes your liver.
  • Cancer
    It has anti-cancer properties and regular turmeric intake is proven to prevent the growth of malignant cells.
  • Insomnia
    Turmeric milk grants you a peaceful sleep. Relish in one warm glass of turmeric goodness before you sleep and experience the miracles of the golden milk.
