Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup organic whole milk
- 2 green cardamom pods, crushed
- 2 black peppercorns, crushed
- 1/4 inch piece cinnamon stick
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1 1/2 tsp honey
- 1/8 tsp ghee
Instructions
- Begin by heating up whole milk in a small saucepan on low-medium heat.
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush cardamom, peppercorns, and cinnamon sticks.
- Immediately add the crushed spices to the milk.
- Followed by turmeric powder. Mix.
- At this time add a touch of ghee. I'm using slightly less than 1/8 of a teaspoon.
- Mix. Let the milk heat up on a gentle boil for a few minutes. Do NOT boil your haldi doodh, what you want is hot milk. Turn off the stove and let the turmeric milk sit for a couple of minutes to let the flavors combine.
- Sweeten haldi doodh with honey to your liking. If using honey, make sure you add honey a couple minutes after you turn off the stove. You can also use sugar, brown sugar, agave syrup, or coconut sugar.
- Pour the turmeric masala milk thru a sieve and enjoy.
