i am sharing here the recipe for turmeric milk which i have been making for many years now. i just add turmeric powder in hot milk, stir and serve. we do not have it sweet, as we are used to having it without the addition of any sweetener. but if you like the milk to be sweet, then add some sugar. though adding sugar is entirely optional. some people also make turmeric milk with fresh turmeric roots. i always use turmeric powder. here i have used organic turmeric powder for this recipe.
