Growing up Mum would force feed me Haldi Doodh if I even uttered the word 'I am sick'. It's funny how the things you hated growing become the things you love when you're an adult. This recipe is my take on the Westernised version of Haldi Doodh also known as Turmeric Latte.
I have used Whole Milk for this recipe, but you can choose your choice of milk to make this recipe. I have had Haldi Doodh with whole milk growing up, so I have done this recipe using that. You can skip the fresh turmeric if you can't find it in your supermarket, and if you are using fresh turmeric, beware, IT STAINS everything it touches!
We all know turmeric is good for you, but you don't have to wait to get sick to drink this. This is a perfect drink for a cold winter night or a rainy day for a wind down in my opinion.
