I frantically started searching for recipes when my husband brought home 1 kilo of fresh turmeric root. I found many drink recipes calling for milk, turmeric, and ginger root. I sampled different amounts of each ingredient and feel this is a perfect balance between creamy almond milk, spicy ginger, and the earthy taste of turmeric. This is a less spiced version of Haldi Ka Doodh.

Step 2

Heat almond milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once small bubbles begin to form around the edges, reduce heat to low. Transfer about 2 tablespoon milk to turmeric mixture to allow mixture to soften and honey to melt into a paste-like mixture.
Step 3

Mix the turmeric paste into milk in the saucepan; raise temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously, until fully combined. Blend with an immersion blender for a smooth texture.
Step 4

Pour turmeric tea into a mug and top with ground turmeric and cinnamon.

Cook's Notes:

Pregnant or nursing women, young children, or diabetics should consult their physician before consuming turmeric.

Turmeric can stain any utensil, working area, or skin.

Any milk or milk substitute will do here. Agave nectar can be used in place of honey.

Wonderful for sleep and inflammation. Turmeric is a traditional Ayurvedic herb. However, if you want to follow Ayurvedic principles, do not cook honey. It should only be added when the drink is warm and not hot. Otherwise it makes a sticky substance in the body called ama that gums up the works.. Hence, only 4 stars. Read More

Fantastic! This was my first time using fresh turmeric root and I picked a winner of a recipe! I can see myself making this over and over again. No changes needed. Fresh turmeric is so much better than powdered, so I highly recommend you try this, even if you don't care for the powdered form. To save time, I just strained the milk into my cup instead of getting my immersion blender out. And since this only makes one cup, I suggest you double the recipe because you will love it! I ended up topping off my cup with extra almond milk. Delicious! Read More

I doubled this and drink it often. I use powdered turmeric and ginger added the black pepper. One thing I changed is I mix the powders with honey left it for a few minutes then add a bit of hot water so that it’s not grainy. Then stir in almond milk and coconut milk. It’s so delicious Read More
