Turmeric milk has been a panacea for winter since the time of grandmothers, but in today’s time people are forgetting the recipe of real golden milk. You do not get golden milk by just adding turmeric, but to properly absorb the curcumin found in it in the body, it is necessary to add other things. Celebrity nutritionist Shweta Shah has given detailed information about this during an interview.
Turmeric milk should be included in the diet of everyone from children to adults. While milk provides many vitamins and minerals including vitamin D, calcium, according to Health Line, curcumin present in turmeric is a powerful bioactive compound. Which is beneficial for your brain and heart by reducing swelling and pain and is also considered helpful in reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

- When the milk boils well and all the ingredients are mixed in it, turn off the gas and let it cool slightly.
- After this, add desi ghee to it and add honey or jaggery powder for sweetness and dissolve it. In this way your golden milk will be ready.
Black pepper is most important
Nutritionist Shweta Shah says that it is very important to add black pepper to turmeric milk, because without it, curcumin is not absorbed in your body and due to this you do not get the full benefit of turmeric milk. Desi ghee gives strength to your body and it acts like a carrier. From cinnamon to dry ginger, all these things not only help in keeping you healthy in winter but are also necessary for digesting milk. Now next time when you make turmeric milk for your children or family, do not just add turmeric powder, but follow the complete recipe given here.
