Warming Turmeric Milk Drink
Simmering up a warming turmeric milk drink and sipping it just before bed always helps me to sleep better.
I really like the gently spiced flavour and actually prefer the more savoury twist the drink gives me over traditional hot chocolate.
Turmeric is a lovely bright yellow spice, usually added to curries, it comes with a long list of health benefits and properties.
However if you're thinking of adding turmeric to your diet as an alternative medicine or to treat a specific ailment you should always check first with a doctor or qualified health professional. Why not also give our delicious Strawberry Ice Cream Milkshake a try!
There's lots of different ways to make turmeric milk, you can use fresh root, ground turmeric all different types of milk and add other spices into the mix too.
I like my lovely easy turmeric milk - just a small pinch of turmeric, a pinch of cinnamon warmed in the milk and a tiny twist of honey to sweeten it slightly.
