Instructions

Warm the Milk:

Step 1

Pour the milk into a saucepan and place it over medium-low heat.Add Spices:

Step 2

While the milk is warming, add the ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger to the milk. If you're using fresh ginger, you can grate it directly into the milk.

Stir Constantly:

Step 1

Stir the milk and spices continuously as it warms. This helps to evenly distribute the spices and prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.

Optional Ingredients:

Step 1

If you're using honey or maple syrup for sweetness, add it to the milk and spices. You can adjust the amount to your taste.

Step 2

Add a pinch of black pepper, ground cardamom, and ground nutmeg if you want to enhance the flavor and potential health benefits of the drink. Black pepper is known to enhance the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.

Simmer and Combine:

Step 1

Continue to heat and stir the milk until it's hot but not boiling. Simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Strain and Serve:

Step 1

If you used fresh ginger or prefer a smoother texture, strain the milk through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a cup or mug to remove any ginger or spice bits.

Step 2

Sip and savor your comforting Masala Haldi Doodh while it's warm. It's a soothing and nutritious drink that's perfect for relaxation or before bedtime.
