Golden milk
Why not a drop of Gold on your day to warm up and to boost your immune system?
The golden drink, has its name not only for its colour but for its powerful medical properties.
Lets start by its ingredients and you will understand the magic behind the magical drink.
Turmeric is a root from the ginger family, and it is what gives this beautiful golden colour to this drink. Turmeric is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory proprieties. Here is a trick to increase these components absorption and get the most out of its proprieties : add a little bit of black pepper. Black pepper has piperine, a component that helps to increase turmeric bioavailability to your body.
Lime to give you a vitamin C top up is also a great idea.
Ingredients
1 1/2 mug Milk of your choice (I love it with coconut milk)
1/2 tea spoon ground turmeric powder or 1 inch of sliced fresh turmeric root
1 pinch of black pepper
1/2 tea spoon of honey
A few drops of lime juice
Pour the milk in a pot and warm it up with black pepper and turmeric. Please do not let it boil as you can lose some of the turmeric proprieties. Let it warm up slowly and stir it frequently to avoid boiling. After simmering for a couple of minutes, you can add honey and the few drops of lime if you like.
